[MR] BBC: Sin eater's grave

[Garth G. Groff]

  Noble friends,

This weekend the BBC offered this short news piece about the grave of 
the last known "sin eater" in England: 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-11360659 . The text 
notes that the tradition of sin eaters goes all the way back to the 
middle ages, so here is another interesting historic tid-bit for 
denizens of the Known World.

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
