In September 2012, an archaeological excavation took place at the site of the friary and a skeleton was discovered of a man with a <a href="/web/20150326110119/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoliosis" title="Scoliosis">spinal deformity</a> and severe head injuries. He appeared to have been hastily buried without a coffin in a crudely cut grave.

The reinterment in an <a href="/web/20150326110119/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenism" title="Ecumenism">ecumenical</a> Christian service at the cathedral, and the unveiling of his tomb, were scheduled for the end of a week's commemorations.
