MORE claims that Jimmy Savile visited a Catholic boys home accused of sexually and physically abusing its children.
For many years there have been allegations of abuse at the former St Francis Boys Home in Shefford.
The home was run by the St Francis Society,as part of the Catholic Church.
Two former boys have won out of court settlements against the church, which still refuses to admit to former priests abusing the residents of the home. Many of them are now taking out a ‘class action’ against the church, which guarantees them anonymity, as potential victims of sexual abuse.
