Overview

Excerpt from Raleghana, Vol. 4: Sir Henry De Ralegh, Knight, Ob. 1301 The subject of the present paper relates to a member of the Ralegh family who died in 1301, and whose effigy is believed to be one still preserved in the Cathedral of Exeter. Owing to inaccurate description, doubts have been raised as to the date of the sculpture, thereby affecting its assigned identity. Again, for want of a proper examina tion of various documents, believed to refer to the person represented by the effigy, conflicting statements have been made as to the place where the body of Sir Henry de Ralegh was interred; and also whether the sculptured representation in the cathedral be a cenotaph or not. The object of this paper is to throw as much light as possible on each of these points, and this necessitates its division into two distinct portions.
