Reading Abbey reopens to public – but there's no sign of Henry I

Ruined medieval church believed to be a royal burial place has been made safe for visitors again

Reading has got its abbey back, almost 10 years after the gates to the ruined medieval church were locked when large stones began to fall from the walls with ominously increasing frequency.

However, the remains of Henry I, who founded the abbey in 1121 and is believed to be buried there, have yet again escaped discovery.
