The exact location of the monastery had long puzzled experts. But in 2021, archaeologists managed to find it, later discovering it was an important trading hub.
A team of researchers and students from the University of Reading made the discoveries while excavating the well-preserved Anglo-Saxon site located by a church in Cookham, a village in southern England. The village lies on the banks of the River Thames, which flows through London.

Researchers have unearthed a cemetery with 50 sets of human remains at a medieval monastery.The excavations also uncovered evidence of a substantial walled monastic enclosure fronting the River Thames, as well as a well with a preserved wooden barrel-lined shaft. The shaft contained other wooden artifacts.
"The discoveries we have made at Cookham in 2023 will help us to paint a much clearer picture of daily life at the monastery," Gabor Thomas, leader of the project with the University of Reading, said in a press release."We will need to carry out more detailed analyses of what we have found, but the artifacts unearthed at this year's dig again show the exceptional quality of preservation at Cookham.
The Anglo-Saxons were a group of people who migrated to Britain from Germanic northwestern Europe after the Roman Empire withdrew from the island at the beginning of the 5th century A.D.
