2,000 bodies found underneath family home


The find was unearthed in the cellar of the property after plumbers came in to repair a pipe and discovered the skeletons under the floor. Specialists say the remains date back to the 1100-1350. One possibility is that they were moved from a cemetery in the 14th or 15th century to make way for a new cathedral.
