The First Monument.

The oldest monument in Westminster
Abbey Is that erected to Edward the
Confessor. The first Abbey church of
Westminster was built by King Ed
ward the Confessor, who died in the
opening days of 1866, when his church
had just been consecrated In the pres
ence of Edith, his Queen. He was
buried before the high altar with his
crown upon his head, a golden chain
and crucitix around his neck, and his
pilgrims ring upon his finger. When
Henry III. rebuilt the Abbey in 1878
he built the chapel of Edward the Con-
fessor, as monument to him, at the
rear of the high altar, placing his
shrine in the center of the chapel, and
there they remain to the present day.
The coffin containing the incorrupt
body of the ConfesSor was carried on
the shoulders of the Royal Plantagenet
princes (whose own sepulchers were
afterward to cluster around it. and
deposited in the shrine of marble and
mosaic.

shows up. Several So and $l5 mug
gets, and one worth $37, were found
about one and a half miles up, and on
