Sherborne
This very ancient town and once the seat of an episcopal see, the parent of Salisbury, Bath and Wells, Exeter and Bristol, stands in the fruitful valley of the Yeo, upon the right or northern bank of the river and upon a gentle slope. The streets, which are paved and lighted with gas, though irregular, are for the most part of tolerable width and the town contains an unusual extent of garden ground and open space favourable to the salubrity of the atmosphere. Few towns can boast equal natural advantages, or are capable of being rendered more cleanly and healthy at so small an expense; it is built upon the inferior oolite, excepting near the river, where there is a tract of silt and loam, and other alluvial deposits. The Yeo at Sherborne marks nearly the junction between the Fuller's earth beds and the inferior oolite. The cutting of the Dorchester road near the town, intersects successively the corn-brash, forest marble, Bradford clay and fuller's earth.
During the Saxon era this town was particularly distinguished for its importance; it was then denominated Scire-burn, from two Saxon words, viz.: scire, clear, and burn, a spring. At a later period it was written Shire-burn, thence modernized to Sherborne. Though in an agricultural county and district, Sherborne is chiefly supported by its manufactures of silk, there being four silk throwing mills in the town. A good deal of 'gloving' is also taken in from Yeovil. Prior to the Reformation the woollen trade flourished here, subsequently came button making, to this succeeded haberdashery, lace and small wares, all of which have long been discontinued, and now, as before stated, silk throwing is carried on extensively and no doubt, successfully, in fact it is the staple trade of the town, employing some hundreds of persons, the majority being females.
The chief architectural attraction in this town is the parish church, a magnificent structure dedicated to St. Mary, erected by Adhelm, the first of the twenty-six bishops of Sherborne, where was a see from A.D. 705, for a period of 360 years. The diocese contained the counties of Dorset, Berks, Wilts, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. On the removal of the see to Sarum, it became the Conventual, and at the dissolution the parish Church. This large and venerable edifice exhibits various styles of different eras, and possesses great architectural beauty. From the centre of the building rises the tower, which contains six fine bells, the largest weighing 6000lbs., was a gift from Cardinal Wolsey. The interior of the sacred edifice is light, lofty and spacious, having the roof supported by numerous groins, springing from the side aisles, where a number of shields, bearing different cut devices, are exhibited; among them are the arms of the Bishops, Neville and Langton, and the letters H. E. connected with a lovers' knot, supposed to be the initials of Henry VII. and his queen. In the south transept is a very superb monument, composed of various kinds of marble, to John, Earl of Bristol, who died in 1698. Near this is a tablet to the memory of William, Lord Digby, with the beautiful lines by Pope:- "Go, fair example of untainted youth," &c. And here also 'after life's feverish dream,' all that remains of royalty repose, Ethelbald, king of the West Saxons, and Ethelbert his brother, grandson of Egbert, lying in their quiet, long, last resting-place. The Church is now undergoing a thorough restoration, which it is calculated will cost about £18,000. Besides the parish Church there are Chapels for persons of the Independent and Wesleyan persuasion, as well as a place of worship for Primitive Methodists. A free grammar school was founded by Edward VI in 1550, the instruction comprehends a complete course of classical tuition to which are now added modern languages and mathematics as an integral part of education. There are also schools for poor youths upon the British and National systems, likewise a Blue School for boys and for girls, both of which are endowed; the churchwardens and overseers for the time being have the privilege of sending 3 boys from this school to Christ Church Hospital, London. An excellent alms-house founded by Henry IV. and incorporated by Henry VI., exists here, and provides every necessary for 16 men and 8 women. Under the poor law amendment act Sherborne was constituted a union and a suitable building has been erected for the paupers; the union comprises 30 parishes and embraces an area of 61 square miles. The market days are thursday and saturday, for butcher's meat; that on thursday is also for corn and cattle, and there are 4 fairs annually, viz.: May 13, July 18 and 26, and the largest one, called "Pack Monday fair," takes place on the first monday after the 10th of October.
The suburbs of the town are open, and on the whole extremely beautiful; on the west are the rich meadows of the Yeo; on the south and south-east the opposite slope of the valley forms Lord Digby's beautiful park, and the domain of the ancient castle of Sherborne; on the north, within 1½ miles of the town, is the escarpment of the oolite, the view from which includes the rich vale of Taunton Dean, and extends as far as Glastonbury and the Mendip hills, with the misty outlines of Glamorgan's mountains rising in the distance.
At the eastern portion of the town is the parish of CASTLETON, a suburb deriving its name from an ancient castle, which, when Sherborne was a bishop's see, formed the episcopal residence, this castellated mansion stood on a rocky eminence and is now in ruins, nothing remaining to indicate its original magnificence, but a lofty ivy-mantled tower; this feudal fortress, in its pristine glory, was garrisoned by Charles I., but was stormed, dismantled, and eventually shorn of its ancient grandeur by the parliamentarian army. In the beautiful grounds contiguous is the modern Sherborne castle, the seat of Lord Digby, which was originally built by that distinguished scholar and statesman Sir Walter Raleigh, but since whose time has been considerably altered to suit the tastes of the various occupants, the ground-plan singularly and perfectly forms the letter H; the interior contains some excellent paintings, one being a representation of the procession of Queen Elizabeth, to return thanks at St. Paul's Cathedral for the defeat of the Spanish armada. This lovely seat is encircled by beautiful gardens and an extensive park, bounded by majestic woods and solitary valleys; in the park is a fine sheet of water, of considerable width and more than a mile in length; a handsome stone bridge three arches bestrides this lake at its eastern boundary.
