ABBEY TOMB MAY NOT BE SPENSER'S

Mystery Of 6ft. Leaden King Gives

Coffin

Scientists were puzzled recently by the discovery in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, of a leaden coffin 6ft. 2in. long and 2ft. wide, which was found at the place where it was thought that the remains of Edmund Spenser, the 16th-century poet, would be unearthed.

To make this riddle even more profound was the discovery of human bones on top of the coffin.

Nobody knows if the grave that has been found is that of Spenser, who was buried in 1699, or that of Michael Drayton, an other poet, who was buried in 1630.

The monument to Spenser is in the wall of Poet's Corner at the end of a rectangular space. At right-angles to this wall runs another in which is a monument to Drayton. Now it is opposite this monument and at least 10ft. nway from that of Spenser that the hole was dug.

But nothing was found save a few files and small pieces of wood.

Then another problem presented the itself. When they measured leaden shell and found it was long, the experts argued that it coul not be the coffin of Edmund Spenser, for he was a small man.
