Typical Luvvie types rewriting history, up here in God's Own Country we
say Viking, I suppose there must have been some Angles but we have more
in common with Scotland than the southern descendants of William the
Bastard and his Norman French who decimated the North.

Couple of weeks since I saw it so I can't remember, but I thought they
did give a reason--too fragile to move or something? They did say at the
end that the other remains they'd found were to be re-interred in the
local churchyard, so it wasn't just that they couldn't be bothered.
