Next illustration of A recent excavation of University property in Cambridge revealed part of the long-demolished friary.  The image was commissioned by the Wellcome Trust because victims of the Black Death were excavated there.  The cut-away format was specified by the client to allow as much as possible of the interior of the friary to be seen, including the funeral of one of the excavated patrons in the Chapter House.
