Account of Two Leaden Chests, containing the Bones, and inscribed with the Names of William de Warren and his wife Gundrada, founders of Lewes Priory in Sussex, discovered in October, 1845, within the Priory precinct, by W. H. Blaauw, published 1846 in Archaeologia; or Miscellaneous Tracts relating to Antiquity (vol. 31, article, pp.438-442) View Online
Abstract:It is well known that the coffin-shaped tomb of Gundrada, finely sculptured in black marble, probably a limestone found in Britany in Dr. Mantell's opinion, was discovered in 1775 in Isfield Church, five miles from Lewes, forming the upper slab of the monument of Edward Shirley, cofferer to Henry VIII. who died in 1558; and Sir William Burrell removed it to Southover Church in Lewes, where, after seventy years' interval, her bones and coffin, as well as those of her husband, have now been brought. The sandstone slab, which was substituted on the Shirley monument, is five feet five inches and a half long; and as Gundrada's monument has been broken off at five feet four inches, it may be suspected that the Shirleys broke off the twelve or fourteen inches, wanting to complete it, in order to adapt it to the space required.
A Few Remarks on the Discovery of the Remains of William de Warren, and his wife Gundrad, among the ruins of the Priory of Saint Pancras, at Southover, near Lewes, in Sussex, by Gideon Algernon Mantell, LL.D., F.R.S., published 1846 in Archaeologia; or Miscellaneous Tracts relating to Antiquity (vol. 31, article, pp.430-437) View Online
Abstract:It is not a little remarkable that so few objects of geological, or antiquarian, interest should hitherto have been brought to light, by the excavations and cuttings made, during the formation of the numerous lines of railway, in various parts of England. Extensive as are these operations, the accessions to the collection of the geologist, and to the cabinet of the antiquary, have been comparatively unimportant. The most interesting archaeological discovery effected by the railway cuttings, is unquestionably that which took place, about six weeks since, in the ruins of Lewes Priory; namely, of the two leaden coffers, containing the remains of the founder and foundress of that once celebrated religious establishment.

Abstract:The Observations of Thomas Stapleton, Esq. F.S.A., in No. 9 of the Archæological Journal, purporting to be "in Disproof of the pretended Marriage of William de Warren with a daughter of the Conqueror," contain so much curious matter relating to the early locations in Normandy of some families afterwards belonging to English history, that the reader may have failed to notice how little of such disproof there really is in the numerous extracts from Chronicles and MSS., however interesting, brought forward by that able antiquary.
