Excavation Reveals Secret Passage at Barking Abbey
During road digging near Barking Abbey an ancient subterranean passage was uncovered. A shored arched stone-ceiling corridor runs about eight feet high and six feet wide, with damp walls and a spongy floor. Skull and bone remains, some charred, were found in side passages along with horse bones. The Abbey, founded in AD 679 by Erkenwald, endured Danish destruction in AD 870 and was later restored, with royal connections among its abbesses. The site suggests a waterway link from the abbey to Barking Creek and the Thames.
