Under 961 the Saxon Chronicle says: "And St. Paul's minster was burnt and in the same year again founded." King Ethelred was buried in St. Paul's in 1016, and his tomb, a fine stone chest, stood here till the great fire of London. There is no reason why the tomb illustrated by Dugdale should not be the original one of 1016 (Fig. 30). Next to it was the similar tomb of Sebba, king of the East Saxons, who was buried at the end of the seventh century. The only material memorial of the Saxon minster now existing is a tombstone inscribed in runes, "Kina let this stone be set to Tuki." It was found in 1852 in the south churchyard, 20 feet below the surface, in an upright position, forming the headstone of a grave composed of stone slabs. The bottom portion was irregular and untooled; this, which showed that it was a headstone, was cut off to make it a tidy antiquity, but it is otherwise carefully preserved in the Guildhall Museum, and bears a sculpture of a fine knotted dragon. [Illustration: FIG. 31.--NINTH OR TENTH CENTURY TOMBSTONE FROM ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD.] Wren, who was a critical observer of the evidence which came to light when preparing the ground for the new church, gave but little credit to the story that a temple of Diana once stood on the site. "But that the north side of this ground had been very anciently a great burying-place was manifest, for in digging the foundations of St. Paul's he found under the graves of later ages, in a row below them, the burial-places of Saxon times--some in graves lined with chalk stones, some in coffins of whole stones. Below these were British graves. In the same row but deeper were Roman urns--this was 18 feet deep or more." Wren thought that the Prætorian camp had been here in Roman days.[179]
