The Bulletin  

ELECTROPLATING THE LILY —page 25  

‘The Bulletin,” Vol. 76—No. 3930  

Wednesday, June 8, 1955  

Price 9dL  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

ONE of the oldest and most attractive  

towns in North-East England is  

Hexham, which stands on the banks of  

the Tyne in Northumberland. Its earliest  

beginnings are veiled in the mists of the  

past when Neolithic man built his first  

primitive settlement there, but its im-  

portance Gates from the 7th century when  

St. Wilfred established monastery at  

Hexham.  

Roman stones from nearby Corsto-  

pitum and Hadrian’s Wall served as  

building material, but only the crypt and  

west wall of the original Abbey Church  

remain, for the ecclesiastical buildings  

were burnt and plundered by many in-  

vaders. St. Wilfred, who stood in high  

favor with the king, had reputation as  

great builder of churches. His Abbey  

at Hexham was among the finest of these,  

and the chronicler, Adam Bede, observes  

that no such church could be seen on  

the western side of the Alps. The design  

of the Abbey was imported from Italy  

and this influence can be seen today in  

the crypt. Between the years 681 and  

821 Hexham was the cathedral of  

Saxon bishopric.  

The original, abbey church was destroyed  

by Danish raiders in 875, and the second  

church, an Augustinian priory, was built  

on its ruins in the 12th century and is  

fine example of Early English architec-  

ture. It contains several beautiful fea-  

tures, among which are the choir, chancel  

and transept. The night-staircase leading  

from the transept to the monks’ dormitory  

is of particular interest as it is one of the  

two examples of its kind still existing in  

Britain.  

Other notable features are the 15th-  

century pulpit, the choir stalls and the  

stone bishop's chair which was brought  

from Italy by St. Wilfred. In later years  

this chair served as sanctuary-stool and  

is relic of an age when the power of  

the church was greater than that of the  

law. The limits of sanctuary, within  

which fugitive from justice could claim  

the protection of the church, extended for  

mile around the building and its limits  

were marked by stones. It is one of the  

only two pre-Norman thrones in England  

the other is at Canterbury.  

In the south transept, is carved stone  

depicting mounted soldier riding over  

prostrate barbarian. It is the gravestone  

of Roman soldier and it bears the  

inscription:  

“To the gods, the shades, Ftdvinus,  

standard-bearer of the cavalry of  

Petriana of the white troop, twenty-  

five years of age and seven years of  

service is laid here.”  

No. 249: the Homeland Series by The House of Seppelt.
