Cheers A-B. I seem to remember that a bloke was killed and beheaded many years before just before School Lane. Apparently if my memory serves me right he had raced up from the Red Lion on his motorbike and skidded on loose earth some distance from the end of School Lane. He was thrown over the handlebars and had fallen head long into the road; unfortunately his head was hit by the front wheel which had caught him between the mud guard, forks and tyre decapitating him. His head was never found at the time of the accident.

The skull that was found that afternoon was green and had been exposed to the air and elements for some considerable time, there was no sign of an helmet, although one would imagine that it would have been made of leather so would have degraded by that time. I seem to think that the skull was put back into the field where it was found; this was thirty eight years ago. Perhaps its still there somewhere in the top corner of the field side of the wall and School Lane…………
