Former prisoners

Buckingham City Councilman Robin Stuchbury told local newspaper Miltonkeynes that “they had their hands tied behind their backs, which could mean that they were prisoners of some kind.»

He further said:

– They can be traced back to Anglo-Saxon times, when there was murder in Buckingham, or from the Civil War, which also saw victims. Or they may be criminals who were hanged on the gallows in the village.

Historian Ed Grimsdale sa til BBC that it may be “one of the greatest finds” of its kind.

Anglo-Saxons are a common term for the population in Great Britain who were descendants of the Germanic tribes who immigrated to Britain from Jutland and the German North Sea coast in the second half of the 400s, according to Store norske leksikon.

Committed politicians

Local politicians have asked that funds be given to solve it, writes lokalavisa Buckinghamshire Live.

It was the councilor, Robin Stuchbury, who requested that an internal report be prepared to “clarify what happened and in what date period.”

– As you know, a number of bodies were uncovered during excavations prior to the work on (…) Buckingham for a planned care home, he said, pointing out that investigations may have been delayed due to financial problems between the developers and a company that offers archaeological services that have been going on for a long time.

– If this is the case, what measures can the council implement to find a quick solution, he asked according to the newspaper.

Next week, the municipal council will decide what to do, they write further.
