[MR] BBC: Plague Graves in Lincolnshire

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Archaeologists from Sheffield University have recently excavated a mass 
grave at Thornton Abbey in Lincolnshire dating from the 14th century. 
DNA tests have confirmed the presence of the plague:

beautiful Tau cross found in one of the graves.

English Heritage has an extensive web site about Thronton Abbey, 
including several interesting illustrations and an extensive history:

A Wikipedia page also discusses Thronton Abbey:
