Six O'Clock News

Available for over a year

Almost four years after Richard III was discovered under a car park in Leicester, a search has begun for the remains of King Henry I at a similar site in Reading. The son of William the Conqueror was buried at the abbey he founded in Reading, the ruins of which are thought to be in the heart of the city centre. Angus Crawford went along to find out more.
