University staff and students are searching for medieval remains at the site of a ruined abbey. A team from Keele University used geophysical equipment to survey the grounds of Hulton Abbey, in Abbey Hulton, to find the graves of more than 100 monks and high-status figures such as abbots, which dated as far back as the 13th century.
