An Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Broadway Hill, Broadway, Worcestershire
View through CrossRef
The existence of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery on Broadway Hill was first revealed during quarry workings by the Baillie Brind Quarry Company in the autumn of 1954, when human bones were thrown up by the mechanical digger. The site was visited early in December 1954 by Professor F. W. Shotton of the Department of Geology of Birmingham University and he handled the skeletal remains and some of the finds. The finding of the skeleton was reported to the office of H.M. Coroner at Evesham and, acting on this information, the Evesham Historical Society became interested in the site. Mr. B. G. Cox, the secretary of this society, obtained some finds from the police.
