Human remains have been found under the patio of a sheltered housing site.

Hertfordshire Police was called to St Mary’s House, Hemel Hempstead, on Thursday after the remains were discovered by builders digging up the patio.

The force said officers were making inquiries as to why the remains, which they said were “very old”, were at the site.

    Remember the film Poltergeist? Ever since I saw that in the 80s I’ve wondered how many houses have been built on actual cemeteries!

      probably quite a lot really, space is limited and we have the whole of human history for someone to decided ‘let’s bury there’.
