Lost sacristy opens

-

A LOST medieval sacristy at Westminste­r Abbey will open to the public for the first time this week as part of a new tour of locations.

The 13th-century room was used by monks to prepare for church services and housed clothes and sacred items for Catholic mass.

The sacristy was discovered as part of an archaeolog­ical dig in September 2020 alongside one well-preserved skeleton of what is believed to be a 12th-century monk.
