The Truth About King Alfred’s "Car Park" Discovery

From Cross and Combe


Has King Alfred the Great FINALLY been found? Recent headlines have exploded with claims that England’s famous Saxon king has been discovered buried beneath a car park — mirroring the incredible story of Richard III. But Is there actual truth behind the viral headlines, or is this just another case of media hype? In this investigation, I travel to Winchester to retrace the story for myself. Drawing on historical records, an intriguing 18th-century account, and discoveries made by archaeologists in more recent times, we uncover a fascinating story of royal burials, lost remains, and the challenges of separating historical fact from speculation. Could the final resting place of one of England’s greatest kings still be waiting to be found? Join me as I dig into the evidence behind the headlines and explore what really happened to Alfred the Great.
