“….Work to replace a cracked glazed panel that covers the original burial site of King Richard III [got] under way on Wednesday (8 July)….The king’s grave – formerly located in the choir of the long-gone Greyfriars Priory – is now part of Leicester’s award-winning King Richard III Visitor Centre and has been glazed over since the centre opened in 2014….”
It seems The glazed panel was accidentally damaged in 2024, and an insurance claim covered most of the £29,830 repair costs. No account of the accident is given. Hmmm…. This is where my Yorkist antennae start quivering. It was that darned Tydder! He despatched his creatures from down in that hot place where they belong, to jump all over the glass. Oh yes, that’s what happened!
Anyway, the upshot of this is that access to the resting place was closed for three days until the repairs were complete. You can read more at https://tinyurl.com/ycxnz6m7.
