Crikey - "remains" sounds like the poor soul has been there for a while.

Years ago an old man used to sleep rough there - I wonder if it's him - died alone.

OmG it s unbelievable... I used to walk down that road pretty often with my friends when we went out.... I cant believe that at all. Beaconsfield was my hometown for almost 2 years and i felt really safe there.

The body may be that of someone who died peacefully - you never know - we are all going to be like this person one day. Someone found a previously-forgotten inhabitant of the Roman Empire, who had died naturally, lying in the garden of their newly-built house at Wendover, about twenty years ago, and the lady of the house refused to move in until this Romano-British person's remains - that had lain there for 2,000 years - had been taken from their original resting place somewhere else - if it had been my house I would have left them there and planted grass seed above. I think Beaconsfield IS a safe place Carole.
