A woman whose body was found in a Burford stream last Friday has been named as Wendy Leckenby.

An inquest was formally opened yesterday into the death of the 59-year-old, whose body was found in the Mill Stream, near Church Lane, at about 9.35am.

Ms Leckenby, who lived in Meadow End, Fulbrook, was identified from personal items in a carrier bag found at nearby St John the Baptist Church.
