Archaeologists excavating a medieval Benedictine nunnery in Oxford have shed light on the darker side of convent life.

The excavation of the Littlemore Priory, which was founded in 1110 and dissolved in 1525, has revealed nearly 100 skeletons of men, women and children.

Among these are a series of “very unusual burials”, including the remains of a woman buried in the face-down position.
