In the Choir towards the high Altar, and below the Ascents, there is an old Tomb, which hath been generally said to have been the Monument of Bishop WILLIAM HERBERT, Founder of the Church, and commonly known by the Name of the Founder's Tomb. This was above an Ell high; but when the Pulpit, in the late Confusion, was placed at the Pillar, where Bishop _Overall's_ Monument now is, and the Aldermen's Seats were at the East End, and the Mayor's Seat in the middle at the high Altar, the height of the Tomb being a Hindrance unto the People, it was taken down to such a Lowness as it now remains in. He was born at _Oxford_, in good Favour with King _William Rufus_, and King _Henry_ I. removed the Episcopal _See_ from _Thetford_ to _Norwich_, built the Priory for 60 Monks, the Cathedral Church, the Bishop's Palace, the Church of S. _Leonard_, whose Ruins still remain upon the Brow of _Mushold-Hill_; the Church of S. _Nicolas_ at _Yarmouth_, of S. _Margaret_ at _Lynn_, of S. _Mary_ at _Elmham_, and instituted the _Cluniack_ Monks at _Thetford_. _Malmsbury_ saith he was, _Vir pecuniosus_, which his great Works declare, and had always this good Saying of S. _Hierom_ in his Mouth, _Erravimus juvenes, emendemus senes_. Many Bishops of old might be buried about, or not far from the Founder, as _William Turbus_, a _Norman_, the third Bishop of _Norwich_, and _John_ of _Oxford_ the fourth, accounted among the learned Men of his Time, who built _Trinity_ Church in _Ipswich_, and died in the Reign of King _John_; and it is deliver'd, that these two Bishops were buried near to Bishop _Herbert_, the Founder. In the same Row, or not far off, was buried Bishop HENRY _le_ SPENCER, as lost Brass Inscriptions have declar'd. And Mr. _Sandlin_ told me, that he had seen an Inscription on a Gravestone thereabouts, with the Name of _Henricus de_, or _le Spencer_: He came young unto the _See_, and sat longer in it than any before or after him: But his Time might have been shorter, if he had not escaped in the Fray at _Lennam_, (a Town of which he was Lord) where forcing the Magistrate's Tipstaff to be carried before him, the People with Staves, Stones, and Arrows, wounded, and put his Servants to Flight. He was also wounded, and left alone, as _John Fox_ hath set it down out of the Chronicle of S. _Albans_. In the same Row, of late Times, was buried Bishop RICHARD MONTAGUE, as the Inscription, _Depositum Montacutii Episcopi_, doth declare.
