Episode 5: Recreating Grey Friars

Recreating Grey Friars: Imagining the burial place of King Richard III, a talk by Mathew Morris, Project Officer at ULAS
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 discovery of Grey Friars, the Franciscan friary in which the king was buried, which had been lost for over 400 years. Mathew will show how the latest archaeological and historical research has enabled archaeologists and artists to reconstruct what the site may have looked like in the past.
