Abstract
Sherborne Abbey is one of the largest surviving churches in the diocese of Salisbury and has been described as ‘one of the finest examples of Perpendicular work in England’. The established architectural history of the Perpendicular building describes a two-phase programme of reconstructing and remodelling of the twelfth-century church. Leland, who first visited the church in 1538, recounts that ‘al the este parte of S. Mary chirch was reedified yn Abbate Bradefordes tyme … [and] … Peter Ramesunne next abbate saving one to Bradeford buildid á fundamentis al the west part of the S. Marie church.’ Bradford was abbot from 1436 to 1459 and Peter Ramsam from 1475 to 1504.
