Revealing Grey Friars - Leicester's lost Franciscan friary by Matthew Morris

Event Description

The Franciscan friary in which the king was buried had been lost for over 400 years

The discovery of King Richard III’s remains during an archaeological excavation in 2012 was a world-wide sensation but behind the headlines an arguably greater archaeological find was made, the Franciscan friary in which the king was buried which had been lost for over 400 years.

In this talk Mathew Morris from University of Leicester Archaeological Services will reveal the latest archaeological and historical research and what it tells us about the history of this important medieval institution, the people who worshipped and were buried there, and the stories of some of the friars themselves.

Tickets: £4.50
