Our Next Meeting
- Richard III – The King Under the Car Park – 10th February 2026 – Mathew Morris
We extend a warm welcome to Mathew Morris, leading archaeologist, writer and public speaker, who will take us on a personal illustrated journey through the discovery of the tomb of King Richard III and the final solving of a 500 years old mystery. In 2012, he directed the successful archaeological excavation searching for the lost grave of King Richard III. Currently, he is the lead archaeologist for the Leicester Cathedral Revealed and Bosworth Links projects, both supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
How many of us have actually been on that site prior to the discovery of the grave? I certainly had parked over that spot when it was a Car Park and my daughter would have been one of many who played there when it was a school playground.
