Revealing a new aspect of the history of the Tower of London


The Daily Telegraph reports on an excavation by archaeologists under the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London. The present chapel dates from the beginning of the sixteenth century but the excavation has revealed evidence of its predecessors and twenty burials, some of which may be of victims of the Black Death in the mid-fourteenth century who had been buried in a common grave.
