“All that will survive of us is love.”
These remains of a man and a woman were found at the Chapel of St Morrell, a 14th-century pilgrimage site in Hallaton, by archeologists from the University of Leicester.

The university's Vicki Score told MailOnline: "We've seen similar skeletons before from Leicester where a couple have been buried together."
"The main thing is why were they buried up there? There is a perfectly good church in Hallaton. Was it a special place?"

The pair are believed to be of a similar age.
According to the Leicester Mercury, the couple aren't the only discovery the team of volunteers digging the site have made. Tiles from a Roman building have been found underneath the chapel.

Score told the paper: "It shows this ground has been used as a special sort of place by people for at least 2,000 years."
