Though possessing only a slender income and living in poor
and distressed times, Bishop Arthur enriched the cathedral with many precious
gifts, some of which still remain as memorials of his generosity and munificence.
In 1627 he gave a large plate-gilt chalice and enamelled paten, and a plate pax, nicely enamelled, the enamelled work representing the crucifixion and the soldier piercing Christ's side with a lance. In 1634 he gave a gilt plate remonstrance for the Blessed Sacrament, supported by four pillars and over it a crown. He died, full of years, on the 23rd of May, 1646, and was buried in St. Mary's cathedral. Heritage Project Home | Back to Top |
