Saxon Treasure on the Doorstep

Driving along the A338 to Oxford from Grove and back again at the weekend, I couldn't help but notice the enormous rally of people with metal detectors in the fields nearby. It was therefore with much surprise that I heard the news that a find of such significance had taken place. A Saxon brooch and other jewellery along with a skull and other bones have pointed to an early grave of perhaps 1500 years old has been discovered. Read the full story here

It makes you wonder what other treasures will be found underneath our local fields - maybe that's one way to dig ourselves out of the recession!
