| Description |
Dick Whittington was buried in 1423, next to his wife Alice, in the church of St Michael Paternoster Royal in the City of London, a church he helped to expand greatly with generous endowments. He is commemorated by a plaque (Top), and also he and his cat are depicted on one of the stained-glass windows in the church. He lived close by in the same street (today College Hill), as is recorded by a further plaque (right). His body was later dug up by one of the rectors, Thomas Mountain, who believed that great riches had been buried with him. There was none, but Mountain took the body's lead shroud. It was dug up again in the reign of Mary I, when it was re-covered in lead. The location of the grave has since been lost. An attempt was made in 1949 to find it again, without success; however, curiously, a mummified cat was discovered! Well the images are pretty self explanatory, The following posts in this photostream show and explain some of the other myths and facts about his life.. Text mostly found <a href="http://www.purr-n-fur.org.uk/fabled/whittington.html" rel="nofollow">on this site</a> |
