HIS City, fituated on the Banks of th^ Severn Sea, is famous for its Antiquity, as well as for its prefent Beauty 5 and is fixed by Camden as the Bravonium^ or Bravinium mentioned by Antoninus, and the Brannogenium of Ptolomy: But Dr. Gale, in his Edition of the firft mentioned Author, pag. 127. has afcertained this to Rujbbury in ShropJInre^ a 39 ii Some ACCOUNT of the as well by tlie Courfe of the Roman Way, as the Diftance of Places, the fureft Rules left us by thofe obfcure Times of tracing the Sta- tions of our Anceftors, But however wc may be in the Dark about the true Name of this Place, in the more early Times, yet have we ftrong Reafons to think this Place had a Being in the Roman Times ^ that it was built as a Garrifon againft the Britains^ and anci- ently fenced with high Walls 5 as Mr. Camden informs us he was apprized of from an old Parchment-Roll. Its Latin Name is Vigornia^ called by the Cambro Britains^ Cairurangon, and in Ninnius his Catalogue Caer-Guorangon^ nnd Caer-Guorcon. Afterwards, when poflef- fed by oiir Saxon Anceftors, it was called WeogareceaJle7\ V/egeornaceaJier^ and Wyre- ceafier. This laft has been by fome fondly imagined to be derived from Wyre-forefi^ which is near twelve Miles diftant in another County, VIZ. Shropfiire. The prefent Name of Worcejler feems to be moft probably a Cor- ruption of Wircefter^ which is but the Change of a Vowel, or a Contradion of Weogorceller. On the South-fide of this City ftands the Ca- thedral firft founded, dedicated to St. Peter^ and made the Seat of an Epifcopal Throne in 680 by Sexulfm, Bilhop of the Mercians^ who placed in it Ssecular Canons, or Married Presbyters 5 who were afterwards routed by St.Oj\^ald^ the great Fatron of the Monks, who Cathedral of Worcefter. iii who in ^6<) founded this Church, and Mo- Haftery adjoining , which he dedicated to the Bleffed Virgin Mary^ and in it erefted twenty eight Altars. In 1084 this Church was demoliftied, and rebuilt in a much more magnificent Manner by St. Wuljiafi^ Who at a great Expence enfhrined the Reliques of the former Founder. Since that Time it has met with various Changes of Fortune, of which take the following Ihort Hiftory : In 11 53, 13 Cal Jul. the Church, Monaftery, City, and Caftle, were burnt. In 11 75 the new Tower fell down. In 1202, 15 Cal. Maii^ it was again deftroyed by Fire. In 1216, after the Submiflion of this City to Lewis^ the DauphiJie of France, the City was retaken by the Earl of Chefter^ and the Church plun- dered. Amio 1220, the great Bells were caft, aiid confecrated by William de Blois^ then Bi- (hop 5 and towards the End of the Year 1222, the two lefler Towers of this Church were deftroyed by a violent Storm. This Church has alfo had feverai valuable Benefaftions^ which are accounted for by Mr. Abington 3 fo that I ftiall avoid an unneceflary Repetition. In a Manufcriptf, in Bodleian Library at Oxford^ the State of this Diocefs of Worcefter is recorded in the following Manner 5 which, a 3 39 t Liber T-4^anpnum omnjuffe iJen^fkJ^'srfm y^ Pi^^\^' iv Some ACCOUNT of the as it may afford a true Light into the an- cient Names of Places, and is no way foreign to this Work, I (hall infert it ^ and the rather, as it may be of lingular Service to all thofe publick Societies, in both our Univerfities, who are Patrons of any Benefices in this Diocefs, and were founded before the Reformation, when thej Piefent moft Unequal and Unjuft Valuation was fettled.

It was by his Affiftance, that I brought the Copyholders for Lives to a ** regular Way of Fining, to which they had ** not been ufed for many Years, to the great " Prejudice of the Church (of Worcejier.) " And, not to mention other Things, it was by the Bifliop's Authority, and his Affiftance, that a Chapter- Aft ^ was made in the Bi- fhop's Triennial Vifitation, for appointing a '' certain ^ Set more of this.

This was the State of the Churchy for fome- time, till the Kingdom was changed by the Revolution 5 and the Dean and fome of the Dignitaries of this Church were removed, as Non-compliers with the Terms required of them, and Dr. Edward StiUingfleet was put into this See, upon the Death of Dr. Thomas^ ( who died before the Ad for Deprivation took place.)

MONUMENTS. T^ O W to come to the Monuments : I •*"^ will begin with his firft, who is the ancienteft in England of all his Majefty's Roy- al and Lineal Anceftors from William the Con- queror, Cathedral Church of Worcefter. i$ queror, King John I mean ^ for Henry the Firft, altho* he was interred in his magnifi- cent Abby at Readings yet is he involved in the Ruins and deformed Heaps of that confufed Chaos. Hither was the Body of this King when he had clos'd his Eyes in that turbulent Night of this Realm, conduced by his faith- ful Subjeft and Servant, that glorious Son of England^ William Marfiall Earl of Pembroke. In the midft of the Choir, on a fair railed Marble Monument, lieth his Portraiture in his Royal Ornaments, wearing a Crown on his Head, wherein is written, JOHANNES REX ANGLIC, in his right Hand a Scepter (now broken,) his left on his Sword hanging by his Side, at his Feet a Lyon Or, and below in Eight feverai Panes Gules three Lyons pafTant gardant Or. So (hineth he all in Gold, between two Bifliops cenfing him, fignifying, I think St. Ofwald, and St. Wol- fian^ between whofe two Sepulchres, or Shrines, he bequeathed his Body to Reft 5 for towards the North, under the Wall of the Choir, St. Ofwaldy Archbifliop of Tork, and Bifliop of Worcejler was buried, where re- maineth now a plain Marble Stone, unlefs that were his Tomb, which Monument being railed on the Outfide of the fame Wall, re- fembleth a Bifliop veftcd for the Altar, with his Mitre on his Head, fupported with two Angels, and a Lyon at his Feet, all under an Arch, 14 Mr. Abingdon'^ Survey of the Arch, and fomewhat defaced. And on the South and Outward Wall of the Choir, anfwer- able to this, is St. WoIftans\ raifed Monument, reprefenting a Biftiop with a rich Mitre, and glorioufly vefted in his Pontificalibus, at his Head and Feet Angels, and on the Side of the Tomb, St* Peter and St. Paul^ with other Saints, on feveral Panes engraved^ And to fhew the Excellency of this ancient Work, all this is cut out of one Marble. Over this rifeth aloft Prince -^r^z&z^r's curious Chapel, all framed of choice Stone, the Sides with Win- dows of Pillars and Arches inletting Light ": The Eafi End, where once an Altar flood, was fometimes graced with rare Imagery Work. Here now are painted France and England quartered within the Garter, fupported with a Dragon and Greyhound, all covered with an Iflfiperial Crown, and under, Vivat Regina^ garniflied about with Red Croffes inclofing the White ^ and next, the fame Arms alfo quartered wijth a Label of three. Argent, fupported by two Stags, proper tyred and unguled Or, and over all a Princes Crown, the Veft adorned with Oftriches Feathers, the Badges of Wales within princely Crowns. The Weji has a Wall anfwerable to the former, and all afpiring to an embowed Roof artificially fretted, with a Pendent in the midft, on the Boile where- of, are the Princes Arms crowned as before, and with Oftriches Feathers^ encorapafledwith Crowns Cathedral Church of Worcefter. 15 Crowns graven in Stone. Under this is a fair raifed Marble Tomb, at the Head and Feet, and in three feveral Panes, on either fide quar- terly, France and England^ with a Label of three, Argent. Above which, and about the Monument, is this Infcription : ^eere Ipeti^ bumn prince attl^ur tl^e firft tegotteiT Sonne of ti^e EenotoneD Jfetnge 5|enf ^ tl^e seaucntfte tol^tcl^ noWe ^limt Departed oat of tW tvm&tm ttfe act t\it Caftell of KLutrtotoe to tl^e feauenteentfte peere of l^ris jfatl^ergf rapgne anu in ti^e y eere of our )9^0^D(lQfOll 1502. The Zv'br^^ Outfide, like the Infide, is glo- rioufly fet out with the Statues of Saints, and Efcutcheons fupported with Angels, over all a Battlement wrought in Panes with Pyra- mids. The South Side being deeper, rifcth higher in fundry Pillars, beautify 'd with Images of Saints, which dividing nineteen fe- veral Panes, prefept as many Impreffions.

The other Panes being re- pleniflied with Royal and Princely Symbols and Badges, I will briefly deliver them, be^ caufe I will not detain you with tedious Re- petitions : There is the Rofe in the Sunbeams for the Houfe of Tork 5 a Fefle of Pheons or Arrows within a Band, a Type of mutual Concordance 5 a Falcon open within an open Horfelock flouriflied with Rofes, a Device of the Dukes of Tork^ one Rofe including ano- ther, intimating the Houfe of Lancafter en- clofing Tork ^ all which, with the Rofe and Oftriches Feathers, fignify thefe diftrafted Streams now united in one, and flowing peaceably in King Henry the Seventh*s IfTue. The others being intermixed with the Port- cullis, Fleur de Lis, and Pomegranates, im- port our King's Right to France^ and his Son*s Match with Spain. The other Arms, as well of the King ats; Prince of Wales, becaufe they were before tnoft eminent in the Chapel, I will not here again blazon. The laft I mean to touch, which being the double Rofe within the Garter, and changeably over the Tomb of a great Lady buried at the Feet of St. Woljtan^ giveth fome occafion to a Fable, that this was the Countefs of Salisbury, who bluihing at the Cathedral Church of Worcefter. 1 7 the Lofs of her Garter in a Dance, miniftred Matter to King Edward the Third to infti- tute the iiioft Ancient and Honourable Order of the Garter, never confidering, that the ter- rible Diflention and Union of thefeRofes were many Years after the Death of King Edward the Third 5 wherefore leaving thefe Rofes within the Garter (fignifying that Noble Knighthood ) as an Ornament only of Prince Arthurs Chapel, I will digrefs and defcend to this Ladfs raifed Monument lodged in Earth under this ftately Chapel : On her Head fhe hath a Veil, on her Chin a Wymplet or deep Muffler, which I conjedure to be an Enfign of Honour, in her Hands lifted up to Heaven a Pair of Beads dependant, on her inward Garment in divers fmall Efcocheons, Or, a frett Gules, on her Mantle in like fafliion checkee. Or and Azure, at her Feet a Talbot, the Side of the Tomb confiding of five Panes engraved whh the Images of St, Pj?//, and other Saints, I conjefture by the Arms on her Garment, being the Lord Verdon\ that fhe was of that Noble Family, and by thofe on her Mantle, being Warrens's Earl of Surry, that (he wasCountefs oi Surry by Marriage.* C To ^ This %s confirmed by the following Fajfage I have read in a very rare Book (in which is alfo a Sculpture of the fame) inti- tuled, — Nicolai Uptoni de fludioMilicari, libri quatuor.

But Cathedral Church of Worcefter. 19 But to return to my Courfe. In the North He, and well over againft the fecond Pillar, is a fair ancient raifed Monument, with Pillars all of Marble, and gilded 5 but being deftitute of Arms and Infcriptions, I can fay- no more of it. ■ Under an Arch, on the Outfide of the Choir, is the Anatomy of a dead Man wafted to Bones, his Robe a Shroud, and under his Head a Mitre. This is fome- what defaced, yet worfer abufed when it was turned from a Monument to a Mantle-tree; but was worthily reftored by Mr. Tsathaiiael To7npkins^ who, doubtful where it firft ftood, placed it here. It is likely this Portraiture was over fome Prelate, who being elefted, died before he afcended the Chair of his Dignity, becaufe the Mitre is under (not on) his Head. When, the 'North We part, the Crofs has af- cended by Degrees to fide the Choir, (he pre- fenteth us under the arched Wall, and fecond Window from the Crofs, with a moft anci- ent raifed Monument of a Knight of the Holy Voyage, arm'd all in Mayle, faving his Face, and clad in a Soldier's Coat, his right Hand on his Sword, on his left Axm his Shield, his Legs crofied, and at his Feet a Lyon 5 and becaufe he beareth no Armory, 1 have fet down the Window over him to fee if any can by conjedure of Arms in the Wmdow find him out.
