BONES exhumed from a Hampshire churchyard are to be reburied tomorrow.

At one stage it was hoped the bones taken from a grave at St Bartholomew’s Church in Winchester last year were those of King Alfred the Great.

But analysis later showed they were medieval and so too modern to be Alfred.

The bones are to be reburied in the grave at St Bartholomew’s at 10.30am by Rev Cliff Bannister with the Bishop of Basingstoke, the Rt Rev David Williams.
