KING JOHN  LOST JEWELS THE WASH  GOODWIN SANDS
Goodwin Sands is a 10-mile (16 km) long sandbank at the southern end of the North
King John of England is said to have lost some of his jewels at the Wash in 1216.
According to contemporary reports, John travelled from Spalding, Lincolnshire, to
Bishop's Lynn, Norfolk, but he was taken ill and decided to return. While he took the
longer route by way of Wisbech, he sent his baggage train along the causeway and ford
across the mouth of the Wellstream. This route was usable only at low tide; the
horse-drawn wagons moved too slowly for the incoming tide, and many were lost.
However, scholars cannot agree on whether the king's jewels were actually inside the
baggage train,[15] and there is evidence that his regalia were intact after the journey.
