OMG!! - Church exhumes dead bodies pre-dating 1860 from graveyard to build '£1m home' for vicar

A vicar has outraged neighbours after having bodies exhumed to make way for his new family home next to the church.

Residents, including children, watched as bones from resting places pre-dating 1860 were dug up and transferred to coffins before being taken away.

They say they are disgusted at the Reverend Wayne Dulson and Loughton Baptist Church’s lack of sensitivity over the matter and claim the move is motivated by money.

According to report, Mr Dulson, a married father, has declined to comment on the matter. But the church said in a statement it was investing £550,000 to ‘serve the community’ and was ‘saddened by any offence’ it had caused. It added: ‘We have worked with the Ministry of Justice and the local environmental health officer and followed their guidelines to the letter.’
