Human Remains Discovered Beneath Patio in Hemel Hempstead
In a startling discovery, human remains have been found beneath the patio of a sheltered housing site in Hemel Hempstead. The remains were unearthed by builders working at St Mary’s House, located on George Street, as they conducted routine construction work. Upon making the discovery, the workers immediately contacted the local authorities, and Hertfordshire Police responded to the site on Thursday afternoon.
The remains are believed to be "very old," according to initial assessments by the police. Investigations are now underway to determine the circumstances behind how and why these remains ended up buried at the site. The Abbeyfield Society, which manages the sheltered housing, quickly informed residents of the situation. In a letter, the organization mentioned that the remains were likely to have been there for many years, which aligns with the historical nature of the building itself. St Mary’s House was originally constructed in the 18th century, and while it has since been converted into modern housing units for people over the age of 55, its history spans several centuries.

As the investigation continues, it has sparked a lot of interest in the local community. The news of the remains has naturally left residents with questions about the history of the property, and some are keen to see the mystery resolved. The police have assured the public that they are making every effort to carry out a thorough investigation. It may take some time, but the hope is that forensic examination will provide much-needed answers about the origins and identity of the remains.
