HERTFORDSHIRE. 
A curious piece of antiquity has lately been 
discovered in the church-yard of HemelHemp- 
In digging a vault, the sexton, when 
he had excavated the earth about four-feet 
below the surface of the ground, found his 
spade strike against something solid, which, 
upon inspection, proved tobe a large wrought 
aay e lid of a coffin, and under it was 
found the coflin entire, which was afterwards 
taken up in perfect condition ; but the bones 
contained therein, on being exposed to the 
air, crumbled to dust. On the lid of the 
coffin is an inscription, partly effaced by time 
but still sufficiently legible,decidedly to prove 
that it contained the ashes of the celebrated 
Offa, king of the Mercians, who rebuilt the 
Abbey of St. Alban’s, and died in the eighth 
century. The coffin is about 6% feet long, 
and contains a niche or resting place for the 
head, and also a.groove on each side for the 
arms, likewise for the legs3 it is curiously 
carved, and altogether umigue of the kind.
