A discovery has been made under the paving stones of Canterbury city-center square in southern England, of a previously unknown vault. A brick-lined chamber, an “empty void” beneath St Mary Bredman Square, has triggered a fresh archaeological investigation and revived questions about who was buried at the heart of old Canterbury. In a city where medieval streets still funnel you towards the cathedral, the find shows that Canterbury’s past isn’t just preserved in museums, it’s layered beneath benches, memorials, and flowerbeds. And, as one archaeologist dryly noted, when there’s a hole in the ground, people can’t help but stop and look, reported BBC News.
