Richard III: Ricardian Philippa Langley hits out at design for king’s tomb

 

Leicester Mercury (June 18, 2014)

 
Richard III: Ricardian Philippa Langley hits out at design for king’s tomb by Peter Warzynski –

With so far 89% opposition (in a Leicester Mercury, not York based poll) against the revealed tomb design of Leicester Cathedral, Philippa Langley hardly is alone with her reservations against the minimalistic design of a deeply carved cross into a block of fossile stone.
Is King Richard III meant to be the dinosaur of English history? Unexplained and misunderstood, though many try?
