If you visit Sherborne Abbey after, say,
Wimborne Minster you may wonder why there are so few wall
monuments: the answer is that most of them have been resited -
and tucked away - in Bishop Roger's chapel at some time in the
past. The room may be locked but a member of staff will be happy
to show it to you. I photographed most of them but many are set
very high and difficult to read especially as I did not have a
good enough lens to render reading possible. |

Shrine of
St Wite A complete but plain stone shrine - very rare.
The three "portholes" in the front of medieval shrines are said
to have been based on the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem where the
actual rock slab on which Jesus's body lay was clad in marble to
either protect the rock or hide the damage that had been done to
it; the three holes allowed pilgrims to see and touch the rock.

My favourite church of all, which
I first visited in 1966 and which celebrated its 1300 years in 2005. Not
only does it have a fine collection of monuments with examples
of many types but also much else of
interesth including but
also an astronomical clock and a chained
library. It also has the only brass to an English King
(actually King of Wessex).
The church and the town itself are well worth a

Wimborne Minster Unusual if not
now Peculiar |
Wimborne Minster has an unusual dedication: St Cuthburga who was
the sister of King Ine of Wessex and wife of King Alfrith of
Northumbria as well as the founder of the church at Wimbourne as
a Benedictine abbey of nuns in 705. This abbey was destroyed by
the Danes in 1013 although some of the buildings remained and it
was refounded as a collegiate church - governed by a dean and
twelve canons - by King Edward the Confessor in 1043. John of
Berwich whose 19th century brass plate is shown below was the
fifth dean. The form of organization is similar to a cathedral
but a collegiate church is not the seat of a bishop. In
1318 King Edward II granted the church status as a Royal
Peculiar, that is a church which is not subject to the
jurisdiction of the bishop of the diocese in which it is
situated. The collegiate church was dissolved by King Henry VIII
who confiscated much of the wealth. Queen Elizabeth I in 1562
granted certain rights and prerogatives of the church
affairs twelve governors; it remained a peculiar. This latter
status was abolished in 1846 but the twelve governors still have
control over some of the church's affairs.

(incorrectly) foretold his death. He was recorder of
Poole and the Duke of Monmouth was brought before him
after the Battle of Sedgemoor. An eccentric man, he was
offended by the people of Wimborne so declared he would
be buried neither in their church, nor without it,
neither in their ground, nor above it. Afterwards,
desiring to be buried with his ancestors but not willing
to break his vow, he obtained permission to be buried in
the wall where his coffin was placed in his lifetime.

The Beaufort Tomb |
John Beaufort, Duke of
Somerset (1444) & Margaret (Beauchamp).
Hand holding alabaster effigies on Purbeck tomb
chest. His feet rest on a lion; hers on a boar. |
|
|
John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, was son of John Beaufort, Earl of
Somerset (1410) who was one of the children
of John of Gaunt, son of Edward III, and his
mistress Catherine Swynford; the Beauforts were
later legitimized but the line was barred from
any claim to the throne. This John, the First Duke,
Fought in France during the latter part of the
Hundred Years War to varying effect but was not
made Regent because of the rise of the Duke of
York during the early part of the Wars of the
Roses. He was brother of Edmund, the Second
Duke, who was killed at the First Battle of St
Alban's in 1455. He was father of Lady
Margaret Beaufort, the mother of King Henry VII.
The ban from the throne was clearly cancelled by
the Batlle of Bosworth!
The steel plate engraving of the tomb
is from Edward Blore's book. |

The Ethelred Brass
|
|
King (Saint) Ethelred I (871)
Brass demi-figure made around 1440. He was king of
Wessex and King Alfred's elder brother and died of
wounds fighting the Danes at Merton, near Cranborne. The
inscription, added 250 years later, gives the date of
death as 873 on St George's Day. The brass is set in a
Purbeck slab which may have covered the original grave.
It was cut to size in 1857 and is now set in the chancel
wall, although it was set in the chancel floor certainly
as late as 1966. |
