Is this lady who posted as WendyD your Sister?I'd just like to clarify a few points regarding the Hexham Heads. I am one of the daughters of the Robson family and it was my two younger brothers who unearthed the heads.
They actually discovered them in late May/early June of 1971. I know this as factual as I was on my honeymoon in Scotland when the boys found them an took them to Hexham Abbey to see if the priest could identify them. Initially they were thought to be Roman and ended up at the Newcastle Museum of Antiquities. It was early 1972 when we were paid a visit from someone from the Museum but I can't recall his name. We were told then that they were assumed to be of Celtic origin from about 200BC and that the human head had been worshipped by the Celts and that they would place decapitated heads bought back from battles and place them on posts around the settlement as protection. They apparently also carved heads from stone and place them on pillars in their temples.
The half man half wolf apparition had been reported from other Celtic sites and according to the guy from the Museum there apparently was a site in Germany where the locals would not go near because of similar sightings.
When the heads were in the possession of my family we placed them on a shelf and every morning we noticed that they had moved position to face the spot where they had been found. To ensure no one had tampered with them through the night I decided I would place them under my bed where no one could access them but the next morning they had moved from the top right of the bed to the bottom left - as near as possible to the spot where they had been discovered. Crazy but this is all true.
My elder brother received a call recently as he now owns the family home and it was from someone who is making a film about the heads but I don't know any further details. The last time we new the whereabouts of the heads was that some guy from the local TV news had them.

My Mum and Dad have been able to sort of evolve into each new place they've lived .. I don't think they're cold or anything and it's never been for lack of money (lucky them!), it just seems to be that they've made the correct choice for themselves every time .. they live in a house that they paid to be built now in the middle of France .. imagine a building that's built as a cross from an Ariel view , there's sliding doors at each intersection so they can transform the living spaces to become whatever they want .. they built it with us kids and grand kids in mind visiting although I sadly haven't been able to visit it apart from back when it was a building site .. they've also got 4 guest bedrooms, one of them built for me and the Mrs. I really need to get my shit together and go and stay with them. They've never grown up and still time trial race Lotus 7 cars lane:My parents still live in the house where I was born. Everybody else has either died or buggered off.
