Leicester has joined the short list of cathedrals and abbeys outside London that are the resting place of an English monarch. In case anyone is interested, that's nine. (I'm not counting pre-1066 with all the Aethal-this'n'thats and Edmunds...)
Leicester was also the home of Daniel Lambert, 52 stone 11lbs and only 39 when he died. His coffin measured 6' 4" long by 4' 4" wide by 2' 4" deep. It was built on wheels and his grave was dug with a sloping ramp so it could be wheeled in rather than lowered from above. He died in Stamford where he's also buried.
