Skeleton

The skeleton of a man was found in Somerton Hill Wood on 22 April 1932.

It was found by a man of no fixed abode. The man said that he had been in the wood at about 8pm, just as it was getting dark with the intention of sleeping there for the night and found the skeleton when he was looking for a sheltered spot. He said that he saw a close thicket and saw a black object that he took to be some old rags and said that he thought that they would provide him with a pillow and went towards them but said that as he went towards them he saw that it was a body.
