All that is interesting, but at what point would this be considered grave robbing? Shouldn't graves be left in peace?
There was an old grave yard butting up to the Salisbury airport. People came in the middle of the night dug up the people and took them away to who knows where and not a word about it. Twilley bridge rd area.
