An Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery at Castledyke South, used from the late fifth or early 6th century till the late 7th century, was investigated and partially excavated in 1975. The skeletal remains of 227 individuals were identified, including one person who had undergone, and survived, trepanning. The church was reopened in May 2007 as a resource for medical study into the development of diseases, and ossuary, which contained the bones and skeletons of some 2750 individuals whose remains had been removed between 1978 and 1984 from the 1000-year-old burial site, after the Church of England made the church redundant in 1972. The significance of the human remains lies in their representing the pathology of an isolated group over the period of time around 950 and 1850. An excavation report on one of England's most extensively investigated parish churches, including a volume on the human remains, was published in 2007.
