Shields from the Tomb of Archbishop Chicheley, Canterbury Cathedral

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 January 2012

Extract

The tomb of Archbishop Chicheley, founder of All Souls College, Oxford, who died in 1443, has always been maintained by that college. Repairs to it are known to have taken place in 1662–4, sometime about 1836, and, somewhat drastically, in 1897.

page 173 note 1 Mr. W. P. Blore, the present librarian, writes: ‘Did they come into the hands of Kemp, or Bodley, or the man, whom I remember spending a long time shut up within the hoarding erected round the tomb, while the repairs were carried on for about a year, if I remember right; and who was always a source of great interest to me as a small boy, spending such a long time shut up in that box as he did ?’ It is likely that the late Ralph Griffin is responsible for the present locations of both sets of shields.
