Wasperton is a village and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire. It is on the east bank of the Warwickshire Avon and is some south of the town of Warwick which is easily accessed by the A429 road. Between 1980 and 1985 extensive excavations in advance of gravel digging revealed a cemetery which contained both Roman and Anglo-Saxon graves. In all 182 burials and 25 cremations were uncovered. Of these burials, 36 are "Roman", 137 "Anglo-Saxon" while 9 show some aspects of both customs. The presence of these "mixed" burials indicates that there was a transition period when the community began to adopt Anglo-Saxon burial practices. Larger image Further Reading : Wise, P.J.
