In this video, I want to address a theory that now and again circulates on social media and KZbin-the claim that this naturally mummified head found in a London church in 1852 is the head of Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, the father of Lady Jane Grey - Queen for Nine Days and one of the most prominent men in Tudor England.
In this short video, I will explore where this bizarre idea came from. I will then talk about the rather sinister and scandalous event that took place in the burial vaults of the church where this head was found -and why that awful event makes it much more likely that this is the head of Mr Green the Grocer from 18th-century Stepney than that of a Tudor Duke.
