I'm born and bred in Leicester and never knew about this stuff! Been to Abbey Park so many times growing up too, amazing!

wonder, whats burried 10meteres below ground...

The Cardinal died on the way from York to London. His remains were buried there but were 'lost'. This has been documented throughout history of Leicester. Oh and the 'pikey' fair you mention is not a pikey fair. They stand all through Leicestershire and are a well established well loved family of showman and women. I'd not use that word.

Thanks for watching!

And I never said pikeys weren’t well loved, you ‘orrid man!

@@ABrummieWunders and the showman who own that fair would not appreciate being called pikeys.... From a showmans daughter

@@weesa1770 ha! Yeah I already guessed you were personally offended here - I understand. Thanks for the advice, I may police my words better for you and all the worlds showmens and their daughters from now on.

@@ABrummieWunders thank you..... I'm not normally offended by anything.... It's that word that sends me off and that word only!
