Archbishop's treasure discovered
A treasure composed of coins, goblets, rare medallions have been found at the bottom of the River Wear where it loops around Durham Cathedral. Originally collected by Michael Ramsey, a former Archbishop of Canterbury who died in 1988. The discovery of over 300 artifacts has been specifically linked to Ramsey due to specific items known to have belonged to him, including a gold coin known to have been given to the Archbishop by a Japanese Buddhist leader. Officials speculate the items may have been stolen from Ramsey.
