Description

Two extended skeletons were found by workmen during the digging of foundations for the new Greyfriars Vicarage (on west side). The burials are assumed to be connected with the old friary. The section showed that the fillings of the graves had already been disturbed by the footings for the previous vicarage built by Sir John Soane <1>.
