Back in July I blogged about how the discovery of two human skeletons had triggered an investigation in Edinburgh into what may be the site of a Carmelite priory. Now the archaeologists involved in the excavation have revealed some of the results of their labors. More than 300 skeletons have been found, in coffins that are in good enough condition to identify the wood. Find out more in the article by Hazel Mollison at the Edinburgh Evening News.

Back in January I brought you a brief report about medieval church paintings found in St. Mary’s Church, Lakenheath. Restoration on the paintings is now complete, and a service was held Sunday to rededicate them. During the restoration process, additional figures were revealed in the paintings.
