Medieval chapel found in Yorkshire

imgID18101152


A medieval chapel, built before the Norman Conquest of 1066, has been found in North Yorkshire.


Two bodies were also found at the site. It is thought the remains were of a young man and an older woman who were both found in a crouching position.


It is believed there were early Christian burials due to the east west alignment of the bodies.


Further work using the latest carbon dating techniques is taking place to more accurately establish how long ago the burials took place.
