Richard’s first resting place – recreated

Five years ago, we wrote about the lost Newarke Church in the Hospital of the Annunciation, where Richard lay for two days between his death and burial in the Greyfriars. As we said, the site is now occupied by the Hawthorn Building of de Montfort University, although these two original arches have been integrated.

Here is an article from de Montfort themselves about a 3D model of the Church, including notes of two Duchesses of Lancaster and Lady Mary Hervey, governess to Henry IV’s children, who was later moved to Trinity Church.
