Excerpt from Winkles's Architectural and Picturesque Illustrations of the Cathedral Churches of England and Wales The first establishment of the see was at Sherbourn, in Dorsetshire, A.D. 705, when the diocese had episcopal jurisdiction overall the counties which now constitute the dioceses of Salisbury, Bristol, Wells, and Exeter. After the death of Ethelwald, the thirteenth bishop of Sherbourn, this diocese was divided into several sees, Wells, Exeter, c.A.D. 905, by Plegmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, at which time there was another see established at Wilton, in Wiltshire, the capital of Wessex, in the reign of Edward the Elder, the son and successor of Alfred the Great. The seat of the bishop was also at Ramsbury and at Sunning. The see of Wilton, after if had eleven bishops, was once more united to Sherbourn in the year 1056, and at the same time the see was removed to Old Sanim, the Sorbioclunum of the Romans, a place of great importance. A cathedral was there founded, and completed by Bishop Osmund; but within sixty years afterwards the see was once more removed, and the city of Old Sarum became gradually deserted. Godwyn's account of the foundation of the present building, written in the quaint style of Elizabeth's reign, is brief and satisfactory; by this it appears that it was performed with considerable ceremony. In his life of Bishop Richard Poore, he says. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
