Story text reads:
"Two stone coffins containing human remains which have been found by workmen engaged in dismantling a Victorian staircase at Hinchingbrooke House, Huntingdon, are thought to be the remains of two of the prioresses of the attached Nunnery, which existed there prior to the dissolution of the religious houses in 1536. Discovery of the coffins was made while the Victorian staircase was being dismantled to be replaced by a Charles II staircase, which would bring all the woodwork into the same period. The coffins were first discovered in the cloisters in 1834 when similar work was being carried out, and after a sketch of the coffins and bones had been made, they were re-deposited in their original resting place. Because they are cut from solid stone, it is thought that the coffins must have been interred for over 600 years. Stone coffins were not used in England after the 14th century. Lord Hinchingbrooke intends to have the staircase erected in such a way that visitors to the House can, if they wish, see the coffins and bones."
