Tips from locals
The Crypt of St. Leonard's Church in Hythe contains one of only two ossuaries in the UK. It holds over 2,000 skulls arranged neatly along the walls and 8,000 bones in a huge pile stacked almost to the ceiling. Seeing so many skulls in one go makes them less of a sinister object and more of an anthropological souvenir. Oak Walk, Hythe CT21 5DN, England
A quirky place to visit, the ossuary (crypt) has the largest and best-preserved collection of ancient human skulls and bones in Britain. The collection consists of shelves in four arched bays that contain 1,000 skulls in total!
