It was feared Bishop Bek’s 14th century chapel would never be located, but archaeologists discovered the religious site was hidden on the grounds of Auckland Castle all along.
Ann Marie Thomas is the author of four medieval history books, a surprisingly cheerful poetry collection about her 2010 stroke, and the science fiction series Flight of the Kestrel. Book one, Intruders, and book two Alien Secrets, are out now. Follow her at http://eepurl.com/bbOsyz
