great grace with the King became Bishop of that See and got the Castle of Sherborne to be annexed to that Bishopprick setting a curse upon them that did goe about to pluck the same from that godly and pious use it being really given to the Church This Bishop was a man of that great integrity and holinesse that he was canonized at Rome and set downe in our Almanack for a Saint This Castle with the land thereunto apper●aining continued in the Bishops untill the time of King Stephen at which time one Roger being Bishop of Salisbury who reedisied both the Castle of Sherborne and the Castle of the
