CASKET RETURNS
A 12th-century gold and ivory casket, stolen in 1994 and later found
dumped on a Yorkshire moor, is now back fully restored in St Petroc's
Parish Church at Bodmin, Cornwall, behind a bulletproof screen.

Anyone know more about this? Reminds me of the spate of relic thefts in

favourite hermit pope, Celestine V.
Thanks for any information on this matter.
