The deed shows that they paid £100 for the pile, and as this sum is much below the estimate of John Foster, it is possible that in the five intervening years the place may have been much despoiled and defaced.
[246] SHERBORNE ^HERBORNE ABBEY in Dorset was an- ciently the seat of a bishop. According to our historians, about the year 705 the west Saxon See of Dorchester was divided, and whilst Bishop Daniel kept his chair at Winchester, St. Aldhelm became first bishop of the See of Sherborne, whi...ch com- prised the counties of Wilts, Dorset, Berks, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Sherborne itself is described by William of Malmesbury as having been a very insig- nificant town, and he expresses his astonishment at its having remained for so long a time a Cathedral city.
The erection of other Sees round about in the tenth cen- tury, and the division of the diocese territorially finally left Sherborne with only the county of Dorset as its share of what had been a most extensive diocese. As an episco- pal seat it came to an end in 1078 when, having been united in 1058 with Ramsbury by Bishop Herman, it was finally merged into the new diocese of Salisbury.
