Friends of Sue Gray have told Newsbiscuit that for the past five months, senior civil servant Sue Gray has been holed up in a nondescript cloister in the ruins of St Mary's Priory in Coventry.
Stoic Sue Gray is said to have stood up quite well to being sent to Coventry to do her work and a significant part of the report is believed to include findings that were missed by Time Team experts when they conducted a dig at the site in 1999 that revealed the ruins.
Whilst she not known as a historian or archaeologist, it is believed that Sue Gray's extensive knowledge of how modern government works has enabled her to have a greater insight into the medieval period than most archaeologists will have had.
