Description: | This is part of the Holy Ghost Chapel on Chapel Hill, Basingstoke. The chapel was established probably in the thirteenth century to celebrate masses for the souls of those buried in its Liten or burying place. A chaplain was maintained by a voluntary association of townspeople in a gild called the Fraternity of the Holy Ghost.
The main building shown is the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, built by William Sandys, first Lord Sandys in 1524. Sandys was a prized servant of Henry VIII, who helped to organise the Ceremony of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. He died in 1540, and is buried in his chapel in a richly carved tomb.
The drawing was made in 1760, and published in this engraving in 1787. Compare with HS 5866. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | Chapel Hill Guild Chapel of Holy Trinity church The Vyne Lord Sandys Chapel of the Holy Trinity liten cemetery William Sandys Fraternity of the Holy Ghost Holy Ghost Chapel abbey | Temporal: | start=1760-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | W Bent; Godfrey | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
