You too can now own a slice of history by bidding to win Richard III's...car park?

The car park where the remains of King Richard III were found is being auctioned off.Now the site, along with the adjacent buildings, 1-7 Grey Friars, will go to auction with a guide price of £4-£4,100,000.

The specific area where Richard III’s skeleton was found will remain part of a visitor centre, but the rest of the car park will be put up for sale on February 15., meaning it is judged by Historic England to be a ‘nationally important archaeological site that has protection against unauthorised change’.

‘The Grey Friars building has so much history and it’s a stunning building that will attract the attention of commercial developers who may convert the building for office, hospitality, or residential premises. ‘Whilst the building is part of our history and heritage, I’m looking forward to seeing the next stage of its evolution.’The last Plantagenet king received only a modest funeral

Richard III was the final Plantagenet king and ruled for two years before being killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, which ended the War of the Roses and began the rule of the Tudor dynasty.
