Fuller Pilch's grave blocks concert hall plan

Fuller Pilch, a Victorian cricketing hero who bamboozled opponents with a pioneering style of batting that became known as the “Pilch poke”, is proving as troublesome in death as he was in life, writes Jack Malvern in the Times.

Building work in the churchyard of St Gregory’s, in Canterbury, cannot proceed until his remains, along with the remains of about 200 others, have been disinterred and reburied away from the site of the proposed music centre. The trouble is, the planners have no idea where he actually is.
