562 List of Altars in Salisbury Cathedral. 



situated somewhere m the north aisle of the'Church in the 15th cen- \ 

 tury {Sal.Proc. p. 305). I had also speculated in 1901 on the existence | 

 at Salisbury of an altar either of Edmund K. M. or Edward K. C, i| 

 for both of which the Sarum Processional rubrics made provision I 

 in case any Church- which used the book should contain 'such an 

 altar (to, pp. 203, 213, 220, 223%, 304, 305). I am now inclined 

 to think that the "King and Martyr" of whom the Emirianuei 

 Coll. MS. mutilated fragment speaks, as commemorated, like the 

 Eleven Thousand MM., at the altar of St. Thomas M., may more 

 probably have been the young King Edward, who was slain in 

 A.D. 978 by his step-mother iElfthryth, or Elfrida, according to 

 William' of Malmesbnry, and of whom the Cathedral had a relic 

 (ubi supra, p. 25), and who was specially honoured at Corfe Castle, 

 Wareham, and Shaftesbury, in the Diocese of Salisbury. 1 



11. — The altar of St. Edmund Eich, of Abingdon, Abp. and 

 Confessor, Treasurer of Salisbury 1222 — 1234, was (it is generally 

 allowed) in the middle bay of the great northern transept, now 

 unfortunately occupied mainly by the apparatus of the organs. A 

 fine Purbeck marble coffin removed from excavations of Old Sarum 

 Cathedral has been placed there (Excav. Report, 1913, p. 5). 



12 a , 12 b . Altar of St. John [Baptist] and of all the Eelics in 

 turn. This was in the most southerly of the three chapels in th& 

 great north-western transept. It is now occupied by the organ ^ 

 bellows. Here was Treasurer Kareville's chan try, ci'r^ 1267 ; and 

 Dean Keymer's, cir. 1463 (Pat, 15 Edw. IV., A.D. 1475). It was 

 similarly described in the 15th century as the "altar of Eeliques, 

 which is dedicated in honour of St. John Baptist." Salisb. Pro- 

 cessions, 78, 212, The list of " Eelykes " and their " proclamation ' 

 is given ibid, pp. 33—40. See also pp. 300—302. 



13. Altar of B. Margaret near the west door on the south side 

 The "door" here mentioned is, of course, the west entrance of 

 the choir (as in No. 10 a , above, and the altar of St. Margaret was 

 in the most northerly bay of the great south-west transept, and 



1 An altar of St. Edmund the King is said to be mentioned in a document 

 of 16th Nov., 1335 ; but another entry {Corfe Reg., p. 11), of 23rd Feb., 1348, 

 mentions the altar of St. Edwar d, (Salisbury Proc, pp. 304; 221). So also 

 in 1 468 ; ib. p. 228.
