| Buried Bishops and Belfries - Salisbury This week the Team try to recreate how the seminal structure of Salisbury Cathedral and its surroundings looked during the time of one of its most colourful bishops - Richard Beauchamp who resided there in the 15th century. They take a close look at the ornate chancery chapel he built for himself and uncover the original bell tower - the stand alone building that supported the original spire to the north of the cathedral. The bell tower was built at the same time and by the same people who constructed the cathedral and by investigating it the Team try to learn more about how the cathedral was engineered. Fo Tony, the dig is a chance for him to return to a town he'd visited often as a child. He said: "One of my earliest holiday images is of this cathedral and the landscape. A lot of my family come from The Collingbournes, and I was always in and out of Salisbury on holiday as a kid. But apart from anything else, it is such a magnificent cathedral and of course as a southern Englander it's the capital of England as far as I'm concerned." In 2000, an evaluation of Beauchamp's chapel revealed some leg bones, apparently in situ, so as part of the excavation, the Team reveal the full skeleton and try to establish if these are the remains of Bishop Beauchamp. |
