Bishop Henry Marshall's Tomb in Exeter Cathedral

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 January 2012

Extract

It has long been recognized that the effigy of Bishop Henry Marshall (ob. 1206) in the choir of Exeter Cathedral is set on a tomb chest of later date, and their dimensions and style show that the two did not originally belong to the same monument. The discovery here recorded provides evidence for a reconstruction of the original tomb chest belonging to the effigy of Bishop Marshall.
