Several years after the film was made, the black-and-silver coffin used in the film was rescued from being thrown out (with permission) by a casual props man working on another project at the studio. The coffin was then moved to Kentwell Hall, Suffolk, where it is occasionally on display (but not described). During Tudor re-enactments at Kentwell Hall, if the coffin is on display, it is presented as a reliquary. Reliquaries were known to have existed locally before the dissolution of the monasteries and subsequently, but the presence of a reliquary in a public room of a manor like Kentwell would be unlikely (although there is some historical evidence that the manor may have stored local reliquaries for safe keeping at various points in the sixteenth century).
