I understand the Welsh and Scots didn't think so highly of him.
He wasn't so "saintly" to them.

The core of Westminster Abbey is awe inspiring even if you're not particularly religious, in fact the whole place is well worth a visit or two.

I wonder if they could drill a little hole and lower a camera and light like they use for surgeries ?
On the other hand, maybe it's better to not disturb the trapped air or introduce outside air.

Edward was probably responsible for the Norman invasion in October of 1066 having promised succession to William of Normandy as well as to Harold.

The pavement in question. I've been to Westminster Abbey twice. It looks better in person. They usually have this floor covered with a carpet to protect it and you can't walk on it.

I read years ago that Edward the Confessor was an albino. Anyone know if this is true?

it was either in a Ripley's BELIEVE IT OR NOT book or Elsie Hix's book STRANGE AS IT SEEMS.

The Chapel of St. Edward the Confessor

Edward the Confessor was King of England 1042 - 1066. He built Westminster Abbey and was later made a saint because of his strong Christian faith. His shrine here became an important place of pilgrimage. Sick people would come and kneel in the recess around its base so as to be near the body of the saint.
