An A-level pupil found the lost grave of the Black abolitionist Olaudah Equiano's daughter, revealing a story of love and solidarity in 18th-century rural England.

Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797), also known as Gustavus Vassa, escaped enslavement to become a celebrated author and campaigner in Georgian England. His memoir, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, was a bestseller.
