A fifteenth-century vestment worn by Cardinal Vincent Nichols at the Requiem Mass for Richard III is to go on display at Ushaw College near Durham.
The chasuble was worn by the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey, where Richard would have attended Mass during his two-year reign.
Known as the “Westminster Vestment”, it was removed from the Catholic former seminary’s heritage collection for use during the ceremonies preceding the reburial of King Richard at Leicester Cathedral last week.
It is to go on display as part of Ushaw’s “Open Saturdays” programme from April to August, when the college will open its grounds and gardens to the public.
