Are you thinking of the Sutton Hoo burial, first excavated in 1939, on the eastern bank of the Riven Deben near Woolbridge, Suffolk? The 6th or 7th- century burial mound encases the burial of a ruler of East Anglia entombed in a ship. Similarly, the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf opens with the funeral of a king in a ship laden with treasure.

According to legend, the body of King Richard III of England was thrown into the Soar after his death. The bridge carrying the A47 across the Soar at Leicester is known as 'King Richard's Bridge'.
