According to the archaeological group, in September 2012, they discovered this intact stone ancient coffin, but were unable to study it carefully at that time. Last week, the group of archaeologists opened the coffin and discovered another coffin with lead inside.
The coffin with a lead has a small hole that can see the feet of the dead from the outside. Archaeologists assess the coffin lead to be able to preserve the body of a high-ranking person, possibly one of the founders of the brown cloak, an ancient monk or medieval knight in the century. 14 - Sir William Moton.
Archaeologists say they will have to do many tests to determine how to open the coffin with lead without harming the body inside.
This is the first time the archaeological group has seen a coffin in lead in a stone casket.
