Brothers Minor: Lancashire's Lost FranciscansInvestigations at Preston Friary 1991 and 2007\nAuthor(s): Jeremy Bradley, Stephen Rowland\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Oxford Archaeology North, United Kingdom\nImprint: Oxford Archaeology North\nISBN-13: 9781907686351, 978-1907686351\nSynopsis\nIn 1991 and 2007, development-led excavations close to Prestons historic centre revealed significant medieval remains. Although badly damaged, these included the foundations of a substantial stone building with cobbled footings and corner buttresses. Several east/west-aligned burials, some with oak coffins, lay inside and around the structure; their presence, together with finds of painted window glass and line-impressed floor tiles, indicated an ecclesiastical origin to the building. Post-excavation analysis, funded by Historic England, included scientific dating of the human remains and organic materials, which suggested that burial took place between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries.
