Just an aside, as a member of Taynton MDC I can assure you all that Taynton is nowhere near Burford!!!
Also the coin was found a good deal nearer to Newent than Highnam.
Most of the rest of the article is a paraphrase of the reports published well over a year ago.

It's great for Maureen, the club, and Gloucester Museum to get all this press, but I wish journalists would get all the facts correct!
