Talk about finding Richard III
Philippa Langley was instrumental in persuading Leicester University’s archaeology department to dig up a council-owned car park in an attempt to find the remains of the last Plantagenet king of England, Richard III.
Philippa, the secretary of the Scottish Branch of the Richard III Society, is now set to visit Huthwaite in March for a talk about the discovery as the guest speaker of the Notts and Derby Richard III Society.
