This is an excerpt from a burial book at Bawburgh, Norfolk in 1813.
Mem. That on the 3rd of July 1813 as some laborers were making a drain within two yards of the river dividing the parishes of Melton, Magna & Marlingford they struck upon some human bones, which upon examination proved to be those of a man. Upon this discovery it was thought proper and decent to enter them in the church yard of this parish of Bawburgh on the north side, which was accordingly done on the 25th July 1813.
I wonder if they ever endeavoured to discover the identity of the unknown man.
