I came across this news story, and wanted to share it.

Here is a snippet from the BBC:

More than 200 people have attended the funeral and burial in north Kent of an unknown teenage girl who was decapitated about 700 years ago.

Her remains were found by an archaeologist on unconsecrated ground next to Hoo St Werburgh Parish Church, near Rochester.

Her head had been placed by her side, suggesting she may have committed suicide or been executed for a crime.

Her body has now been reburied in the church's main graveyard.

The girl was affectionately named Holly by church officials because her remains were found beside a holly tree used over many years to decorate the church at Christmas.

Whatever was the true cause of her death it is obvious that this girl came to some horrific end so many centuries ago. The fact that she was reburied with ceremony was a very nice, and appropriate gesture in my opinion.
