The skeletal remains of 227 people were found, including one person who had undergone, and survived, trepanning. The church was reopened in May 2007 as a resource for medical analysis into the development of illnesses, and ossuary, containing the bones and skeletons of some 2750 persons whose remains were removed between 1978 and 1984 from the 1000-year-old burial site, after the Church of England made the church redundant in 1972.
