346 The Burial Places of the Bishops of Salisbury. 



where the Hungerford tomb stands on the north side of the nave, 

 and the Altar of the Holy Ghost was where William Longespee's 

 tomb is now placed. Seth Ward says "in medio chori/' and so 

 does Canon Eich-Jones, but the latter did not notice that in the 

 statement which he quotes the words " in medio chori sepultus " 

 have been corrected in the margin to " sepult : in nave ecclesise 

 inter altar : matutin : Sptus Sancti/' so there is little doubt that 

 he lies in the middle of the nave towards the east end. His obit 

 was on the 10th of October. 



Nicholas Longespee (1292 — 1297) was buried at the entrance 

 of the Lady Chapel near his father, William Longespee " under a 

 huge marble stone sometimes inlaid with brasse and adorned with 

 the arms of their house " (Godwin.) In the plan of 1733 the tomb is 

 placed at the entrance of the Lady Chapel a little west of the grave 

 of St. Osmund. Leland says that his stone was between those of 

 Eobert de Wikehampton and Henry of Brandeston. The position 

 marked on the plan is near William Longesp^e^s tomb, but if that 

 position is correct, of which there can be little doubt, it could not 

 have been between the graves of Bishops Eobert de Wikehampton 

 and Henry de Brandeston, as both of them were on the south side. 

 It is said that his heart was buried at Lacock Abbey, and that a 

 small slab marked with three crosiers, now lying in the Cloisters, 

 once marked the place of its interment. His obit was on the 

 18th of May. 



Simon of Ghent (1297 — 1315) was buried " in australi parte 

 chori " (Lambeth MS. No. 589). His stone is still in its original 

 position in the first arch of the south aisle of the choir behind the 

 stalls. His obit was celebrated on the 2nd of April. 



There is considerable doubt as to the burial place of EoGER de 

 MoRTiVAL (1314 — 1330). He lies certainly to the north of the 

 choir. Price places his grave in the recess in the wall where I 

 have before said that I believe the first Bishop Eoger was buried. 

 The " Constitutiones," collected in the seventeenth century, places 

 the grave of the first Eoger in the third arch from the morning 

 altar, but the plan of 1733 marks the grave of Eoger de Mortival 

 (or Eoger the second) in that place. The morning altar was on
