A plaque marking Lady Jane Grey’s grave can be seen in the Church of St Peter Ad Vincula at the Tower of London.
In 1876 the chapel was excavated and the remains found were removed and then re-buried. Remains thought to be of Anne Boleyn, Jane Rochford, Duke of Northumberland and Margaret Countess of Salisbury were discovered. The remains of Katherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey and Lord Guildford Dudley were not found.
The report states the ‘grounds for presuming that she and her husband were buried in the chancel. The recent examination of the chapel has failed to afford any means of identifying the spot.’(Bell, 1877)
There is a legend that Jane’s remains were secretly buried at Bradgate.
Details of this legend can be found in the following:
