4 Leland is strangely incorrect in these dates. Simon de Ghent was consecrated 
1297, died 1315.

about the castle of Sherborne, which the Bishop recovered. On his brass which 
is large and curious, is an etching of a castle with a Bishop in pontiticals at the 
entrance. This is published in Carter’s ‘‘ Specimens of Ancient Sculpture and 
Painting.”
