In a few cases the Society has taken the lead and undertaken specific projects on particular aspects of Maidenhead’s history and historic buildings, including detailed studies of Ockwells Manor, Shottesbrooke Church and Bisham Abbey. This book grew out of the background investigations into the history of Bisham Abbey. Bisham Abbey is located not far from Marlow on the River Thames and is currently owned by Sport England. It is now run as a sports and conference centre and is where various sports teams representing England can practise. The original building on the site was a preceptory put up by the Knights Templar in the 13th century. In the following century it was held by the Montacute earls of Salisbury and later their descendants, the Nevilles. The building still retains in the bay window of what is now called the Elizabethan Room remnants of schemes of armorial glass ranging from the 14th to the 17th centuries. In 1562, the then owner, Sir Thomas Hoby, put up “a gallery of noble men’s arms” almost certainly glass saved when the priory church was demolished during the dissolution of the monasteries. The glass included a 14th century shield representing William Montacute, Earl of Salisbury (d.1344), impaled with that of his wife, Katherine Grandison (d.1349). A chance visit to Exeter cathedral led to the recognition of very similar 14th century armorials located in the south window of St Gabriel’s Chapel in the choir of the cathedral and the realisation that Katherine Grandison’s brother John, who had been Bishop of Exeter from 1327-1369, had built most of the nave and had evidently glazed the windows of the chapel. Further investigation revealed that both Katherine’s uncle Otho Grandison and her father William, both from Vaud, now in Switzerland, had been involved in the building of castles in Wales for Edward I. Otho, in particular, would have known the famous Master James of St Georges who built castles in Vaud and elsewhere for both Count Peter and Count Philip of Savoy before coming to work for Edward I. Otho’s castle at Grandson on Lake Neuchatel is now thought to have been designed by Master James. The study then expanded in order to learn more about the Grandison family, including where they came from; what families they were related to; what places they were linked with; where they were buried and what was their extant legacy, such as buildings, effigies, armorial glass and paintings. v The Grandisons, especially Otho, worked with various popes, one of whom – Clement V – had a replica of Harlech Castle, thought to have been designed by Master James, built in his home town of Villandraut. Otho was close to Edward I. Katherine Grandison’s husband, William Montacute, was similarly close to Edward III, grandson of Edward I. Both kings had an interest in chivalry, especially relating to King Arthur and Saint George. The Grandisons and their relatives made a contribution to each king’s chivalric activity. Katherine Grandison is one of the contenders to be the Countess of Salisbury said to have inspired the garter legend connected with the founding of the Order of the Garter at Windsor Castle. The present work demonstrates the impact this family has had on the history of not only England and Wales but also Ireland and what is now Switzerland. I have set the text into a number of chapters, which broadly reflects the chronological order of the various buildings, though those in Switzerland overlap to a large extent. I have also included more extensive endnotes than might be thought usual to provide more detail on the historical and social context of the building works. The Grandisons left a built legacy over a wide area of Europe and the following people, linked to buildings they were connected with, assisted me in a variety of ways; I apologise if I’ve missed anyone out: Ireland Marie Boland, Clonmel Library John O’Gorman, Tipperary Studies, Thurles England Sue Strutt, Church Warden, Ashperton Church Ann Willoughby, historian for Exeter Cathedral and Ottery St Mary Church Michael Howarth, Assistant Librarian, Exeter Cathedral Library David Risdon, Education Officer, Exeter Cathedral Ruth Richardson, historian for Dore Abbey James Anthony, Hereford Cathedral Kirsty Clarke, Library & Archives Assistant, Hereford Cathedral Joe Hillaby, historian for St Katherine’s Chapel, Ledbury Caroline Allington, Curator, Swindon Borough Council Rev. Brian Carne, historian for Lydiard Tregoze Dr Richard Mortimer, Keeper of the Muniments, Westminster Abbey Dr Eileen Scarff, former Archivist, St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle Wales Prof. R E Griffiths, University of Swansea Switzerland Dr Peter Jezler, Director, Berne Historical Museum Flora Tarelli, Bern Historical Museum Karen Christie, Conservator, Bern Historical Museum Michel Schaer, Chateau Grandson Dr Daniel de Raemy, Research Director, Service des Biens Culturels, Fribourg vi And I am also indebted to the many church wardens for giving me access to their churches. Many others kindly offered their assistance - help that ranged from providing reference material or photographs, to reading sections of the text and making comments. I am particularly grateful to Dr de Raemy for giving me a copy of his book on the castles, donjons and great towers of Savoy; to Peter and Eileen Goford and Julie Le Maitour for help with French translation; and Pat Cobb and Andl Fischer for help with German translation. Any remaining mistakes are therefore mine entirely. I am also grateful to the following for giving permission to reproduce images that are in their copyright: The Dean & Chapter of Westminster Abbey for permission to reproduce an image of a drawing by E.W. Tristram of the painting on the side of the tomb of Eleanor of Castile featuring a kneeling Otho Grandison (Fig 12a).

  • The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a Note on the Early Manorial History
    The Arms on the Chaucer Tomb at Ewelme with a note on the early manorial history . of the parish by E. A. GREENING LAMBORN ALTHOUGH representing one of the largest and most interesting collec­ ..r-\. tions of mediaeval coats to be found on any tomb in England, the arms on the Chaucer tomb at Ewelme have never been competently examined, so that the persons represented by them have been only partially, and sometimes incorrectly, identified. The most recent account of them, in the otherwise admirable notes on the church compiled by a late rector, is of little genealogical or heraldic value; and the account in the first volume of the Oxford Journal of Monumental Brasses is of no value at all : , Others to some faint meaning make pretence But Shadwell never deviates into sense.' its author's competence may be judged by his description of ' time-honoured Lancaster' as ' the Duke of Gaunt.' Sir Harris Nicolas, who wrote the Memoir prefixed to the Aldine Chaucer of 1845, realised that the solution of the problem was the construction of a pedigree; but the tree he drew up was quite inade­ quate for the purpose. The earliest record of the coats is in the notebook of Richard Lee, Port­ cullis, who sketched them for his Gatherings of Oxfordshire on his Visitation of the County in 1574. It is now in the Bodleian (Wood MS. D. 14), and a page of it, showing some of the shields on the Ewelme tombs, was reproduced in facsimile in the Harleian Society'S volume of the Visitations of Oxfordshire.
