Hi Trevor, an interesting response from Nunraw. The images I sent you
were from Helen Bowman, Communications Manager with EH. I intend to
update my web-site with them when all the investigations have been
completed. Helen has requested that I should acknowledge Tony
Barhtholomew from EH. I did not take any photos.
I have written to the Oxford Archaeological Unit in Lancaster where
the 4 sets of human remains are being examined. I have requested an
image of the skeleton of the abbot who could be a bishop.
Regards,
Alice.
