Head Verger Jon Ormrod tends to the grave of William Shakespeare in the Chancel of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford Upon Avon, England. |
Archaeologists who scanned the grave
of William Shakespeare say they have made a head-scratching discovery. His
skull appears to be missing.
Researchers used ground-penetrating
radar to explore the playwright's tomb. The tomb is in Stratford-upon-Avon's
Holy Trinity Church. Staffordshire University archaeologist Kevin Colls led the
study. He said they found "an odd disturbance at the head end." They
also found evidence of repairs some time after the original burial. Read more after the cut.
