The Diocese of Chichester have in recent years declined a faculty to allow excavation of a grave at Bosham Church, Sussex thought to be a possible burial place and there is also the grave at Waltham Abbey.
Ah, so at least two bits then, that accords with the contemporary accounts :face-approve:

Which member of the royal family do you have to find in order to trend on Twitter? How can archaeology make itself really interesting? Does the cult of celebrity have a time limit?
I wonder where all the talk of science and archaeology on this forum fits in? Is this just treasure hunting, where the treasure is someone famous?
Darn, left all the Bishops on one job where they were and worked round them, amazing how far most of them were from the floor-markers

Does anybody know if there was a written scheme of works for this project anywhere. I would love to see how you go about writing it. how does it go: we think some king was buried around here, we think that it is under threat from development which we think should go ahead, level of significants ..not very. And to make it look like the well documented church was well and truly lost we used map regression (presumably no evaluation required) No, not map regression, what's that then.

Quote:Archaeologists think they may have found the location of the burial of Richard III in a car park in Leicester.
Ugly, detested by many and now badly decayed, Leicester is located just east of the M1 at junction 21.
