Excavations at Westminster Abbey have unveiled a medieval abbot's remains within an ancient Roman coffin, dated to the time between AD 987 and 1052. Notable candidates for the identity of this abbot include Ælfwig and Wulfnoth, who once steered the Westminster Benedictine monastery. The coffin, rich in history, has been preserved and examined since its 19th-century discovery, and today, visitors can appreciate its elaborate inscriptions.
