Talk:Lakenheath

After editing the link on this page, I noticed that the page duplicates a page called RAF_Lakenheath. There really is no need for this stub page unless someone can write something about the village itself and what can you say about it (it has a railway station, which is not actually in the village!).

I find that minorly offensive! There is much great culture in my fine village. I did write some stuff down about the village.

If someone knows how, could they add a nice picture of the village to the Lakenheath Village section and remove the F-15. Last time I looked there were not many of those on the ground in the village - yet.

Death penalty

I have removed the ridiculous reference to the supposed continuing legality of capital punishment in the village. The article read: "Lakenheath is the only village in the UK where the death penalty is still in use, only for the crime of sexually accosting a Horse, a law established in 1792 that is yet to have been appealed or adjusted". The Human Rights Act 1998 completely abolished the death penalty for all offences. Abolition of the death penalty is also a requirement for membership of the European Union; the legally enforceable Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union bans the death penalty in all circumstances, as does protocol 13 of the also legally binding European Convention on Human Rights (both of which the UK is party to).--Hellsoso (talk) 16:22, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

The very old Medal

I have heard that an old medal has been found in that village and the first known english text with on from the year 475. There's a campaign collecting the 100 most important events of englesh language. Organisers gave 10 of them to generate discussion here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturenews/8082737/Hunt-for-100-events-that-shaped-the-English-language.html Here they say: "The journey starts in Lakenheath in Suffolk, where the Undley Bracteate medallion was found, dated to 475 and bearing the first evidence of written English." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gastonschalke (talk • contribs) 05:59, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
