Weird Britain presenter Andy Mcgrath at the King Alfred tower on a misty day. // The long-lost remains of King Alfred the Great have been found buried under a car park, investigators claim. Alfred the Great has been recognised as one of the country's most important rulers as the first king of a united England - yet the whereabouts of his final resting place have long been shrouded in mystery. But author and historical researcher Graham Phillips now claims to have discovered Alfreds grave after a 13 year hunt. The location is being revealed for the first time in a new episode of the British television series Weird Britain, on Blaze TV this Wednesday, 8 July 2026, at 9 pm. And he has now claimed the location of the remains of one of Englands greatest kings are 20 yards from where the slab now marks were the Alfred was once buried.
