Brothers Minor: Lancashire's Lost Fransciscans
Investigations at Preston Friary 1991 and 2007 By Jeremy Bradley and Stephen Rowland Series: Lancaster Imprints
Details of excavations and post-excavation analysis close to Preston’s historic centre. In 1991 and 2007, development-led excavations close to Preston’s historic centre revealed significant medieval remains. These included the foundations of a substantial stone building with cobbled footings and corner buttresses. Several east/west-aligned burials, some with oak coffins, lay inside and around the structure. Dating of the human remains and organic materials suggested that burial took place between the 13th and 16th centuries, matching the occupation of the Franciscan friary of St Clare.

A Medieval Punishment Cemetery at Weyhill Road, Andover, Hampshire
By Karen E. Walker, Sharon Clough and Jeremy Clutterbuck Series: Cotswold Archaeology Monograph
Examination of a medieval ‘execution’ cemetery between Andover and Weyhill, Hampshire.
In 2016, at a site between Andover and Weyhill, Hampshire remains of some 124 individuals, mostly male and adult were discovered, with much additional disarticulated bone. Many had clearly been buried with their hands tied behind their backs or had been interred face-down, and some had been decapitated. The significance of the site lies in its long continuity, providing evidence at a local level for the organisation of judicial power from Saxon times well into the Middle Ages.
