Sterne's skull still speaking

The skull of Lawrence Sterne, buried in an unmarked grave, was recognised by the leading authority in the 20th C on Sterne, and reburied in a well marked grave. The occasion for the discovery was the disposal of remains that occurred during a commercial redevelopment of the original grave area. Kenneth Monkman is the name of the scholar who recognised the skull. After two hundred years.
