Context (Amendments / updates)
Although this was previously listed as either coming from Little Wilbraham or Linton Heath, the date and grave numbers identifies it firmly as from Little Wilbraham and it is illustrated in 'Saxon Obsequies'. The Place field has therefore been updated accordingly.

Context (Other)
Only 1948.1656 A.1 is listed in the Accession Register (as 1948.1656); the remainder of this accession number, 1948.1656 A.2-9 and 1948.1656 B, were only listed on the catalogue card, possibly because, like 1948.1656 A.1, their Place information was uncertain. In the case of B, this has subsequently been clarified.
