Introduction to the Cemetery<\/h1>\n

The burial ground on Chapel Hill has been in use from 1208 during the reign of King John when burials could not take place in consecrated ground due to a dispute with Pope Innocent III. The cemetery was consecrated in 1214 and The Chapel of the Fraternity of the Holy Ghost, was completed around 1244. The 13th Century building was greatly enlarged in 1524 by Lord Sandys of The Vyne, when he added the Chapel of the Holy Trinity to the south side of the chancel as a private burial place for the Sandys family. Both Chapels are now Grade II* listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments. In 1858 the Cemetery was extended into the current footprint to accommodate the growing population and wealth of the town and is still being used today for the internment of ashes. Several important local figures are buried in the Cemetery including Thomas Burberry, the clothing manufacturer, Alfred Milward of Milwards Shoes, John Mares, Supplier of polar clothing and raincoats and John Aidan Liddell, Victoria Cross.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CHAPEL RUINS<\/h3>\n

This guide will include both of the Chapel ruins with recommended stopping points. The tour is intended to take about thirty minutes and starts at the car park at the Cemetery Lodge Entrance to the Cemetery.<\/p>\n

THE CHAPEL OF THE HOLY GHOST: WHY IT WAS BUILT?<\/h3>\n

When the Archbishop of Canterbury, Hubert Walter, died in 1205, King John became involved in a dispute with Pope Innocent III that would lead to the king’s excommunication. The Norman kings had traditionally exercised a great deal of power over the church within their territories. From the 1040s onwards, however, successive popes wanted the church to be governed from Rome. King John wanted John de Gray, the Bishop of Norwich and one of his own supporters, to be appointed Archbishop of Canterbury after the death of Archbishop Walter, but the cathedral chapter for Canterbury Cathedral favoured Reginald, the chapter’s sub-prior. The chapter secretly elected Reginald and he travelled to Rome to be confirmed. John forced the Canterbury chapter to change their support to John de Gray, and a messenger was sent to Rome to inform the papacy of the new decision.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Pope Innocent the Third disavowed both Reginald and John de Gray, and instead appointed his own candidate, Stephen Langton, who was consecrated in June 1207. John was incensed about what he perceived as an abrogation of his customary right as monarch to influence the election. He barred Langton from entering England and seized the lands of the archbishopric and other papal possessions. The Pope set a commission in place to try to convince John to change his mind, but to no avail. Pope Innocent III then placed a Papal Interdict on England which took effect by June 1208, prohibiting clergy from conducting religious services, with the exception of baptisms for the young, and confessions and absolutions for the dying. King John treated the interdict as “the equivalent of a papal declaration of war” and started a fierce campaign of arrests and seizures against the church. By 1209 the situation showed no signs of resolution, and the pope threatened to excommunicate John if he did not acquiesce to Langton’s appointment. When this threat failed, the pope excommunicated the king in November 1209. By 1213, though, John was increasingly worried about the threat of French invasion and he finally negotiated terms for reconciliation. The papal terms for submission were accepted in the presence of the papal legate, Pandulph, in May 1213 at the Templar Church at Dover<\/p>\n

BASINGSTOKE AND THE LITEN<\/h3>\n

The result of this interdict was that for six years from 1208 to 1214 the people of the town could not bury their dead in the churchyard. Instead, a makeshift un-consecrated burial ground known as the \u2018Liten\u2019 was used, on a hill to the north of the town, which is where the Chapel ruins now stand.<\/p>\n

BUILDING A CHAPEL<\/h3>\n

When the ban was lifted in 1214 the Liten ground was consecrated and a chapel built on it dedicated to the Holy Ghost. It took 30 years to complete the chapel which gives some idea of the quality of materials used and the craftsmanship for the time. The Chapel was run by a Fraternity or Guild of the Holy Ghost to which leading men of the town would have belonged.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

THE CHAPEL OF THE HOLY GHOST<\/h3>\n

The plan shows that the Chapel consisted of a central rectangular nave with a square tower and chancel on either side. The thick brick and flint western wall of the tower is the only part of the chapel which has survived. The red brick diagonal buttresses were added later. Today, the outlines of the position of the walls of the tower, nave and chancel have been marked out by tomb slabs. These were taken up from the Liten site between the chapel ruins and the railway which was cleared of monuments in the 1960s. \"chapel<\/a>We don\u2019t know the size of the original Chapel but it was clearly an important building and in 1309 a large ordination ceremony was held. The numbers then ordained were 45 first tonsures, 30 acolytes, 24 subdeacons, 20 deacons and 22 priests.<\/p>\n

THE GUILD OF THE CHAPEL OF THE HOLY GHOST and the ORIGINS OF QUEEN MARY\u2019S SCHOOL and the VYNE SCHOOL<\/h3>\n

The Chapel of the Holy Ghost was supported by a voluntary medieval Guild or Fraternity of local people who were involved in religious and educational and benevolent work. The licence or charter granted by Henry VIII, who ruled between 1509 and 1547, on the joint petition of Bishop Fox and Lord Sandys is dated November, 1525, and recites that the townsfolk, ‘out of their devotion to the third person in the Divinity,’ had long before begun and continued the maintenance of a Guild or fraternity in honour of the Holy Ghost which the king desired to establish on a permanent basis. The brethren were accordingly vested with powers to receive and hold gifts of land and other property, being constituted a corporate body with a common seal, and were empowered to elect an alderman and two wardens annually for their better government. This Guild of the Holy Ghost escaped the operation of the Act of 1545 for the suppression of such institutions, on account of the king’s death; but it fell victim to the renewed legislation of Edward VI, [1547 \u2013 1553] when its properties were sold.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

In 1554 the townsfolk petitioned Philip and Mary [1553-1558] for a revival of the Guild and a new charter of incorporation was granted, wherein, in reviving the fraternity, it was stated that a priest should be appointed for the celebration of divine service in the chapel and for the instruction and education of young men and boys within the town. The Holy Ghost school building itself was a half-timbered structure constructing of one large room built around the foundation of the western tower of the ancient chapel \u2013 the part of the tower which can still be seen today. In 1831 there were 12 boys at this Grammar School, of whom those belonging to the town paid 15 shillings and those in the neighbourhood, one pound, one shilling, per quarter. The poet laureate Thomas Warton and his brother received the early part of their education at this school under their father, Thomas Warton, B.D, previously Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford and master of the school.<\/p>\n

During the English Civil War, both the Chapel of the Holy Ghost and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity were badly damaged by Cromwell and his men who, local legend has it, were reported to have taken the lead from the Chapel roof to make musket balls for the siege of Old Basing House.<\/p>\n

Around the same time there was a fire in the town and the school building was used as a \u2018pestilence house\u2019 where the sick were isolated during an outbreak of the plague. The Guild came to an end and the Chapels became derelict. Not helped by the activities of the boys in the school, including one Gilbert White, who admitted to helping blow up part of the Holy Ghost Chapel. Gilbert White later became famous for his account of \u2018The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne \u2018(1789).<\/p>\n

The school expanded and on 29th May 1855 the foundation stone for the \u2018new\u2019 Queen Free School was laid in Worting Road. The School came back to South View in 1940 when the Queen Mary\u2019s Grammar School opened in Vyne Road and is now the Vyne Community School. Within the grounds of the remains of the base of the tower is a much damaged, headless, early 17th century effigy which may have been moved there at some time. The effigy appears to show a civilian man dressed in a gown with long sleeves. It is surely no coincidence that this was the official dress of an Alderman of the Guild of the Holy Ghost.<\/p>\n

The oldest monument in the cemetery<\/h4>\n

To the east, and in the position of the former chancel of the Holy Ghost, is a tomb slab with the weathered stone figure of a cross-legged knight.<\/p>\n

This is the tomb of William de Brayboeuf, Lord of the manor of Eastrop who died in 1284. William was a descendent of Geoffrey de Brayboeuf who had arrived with William the Conqueror during the Norman Conquest.<\/p>\n

In 1272 William de Brayboeuf had the custody of Porchester Castle, and was Sheriff of Hampshire in 1279 and 1280. Hackwood Park owes its origin to him; for in the first year of his office as Sheriff he obtained the King’s license to impark “his wood of Hagwood with its timber,” which at that time formed part of the forest of Eversley. In the following year he was summoned, with some others, to “show his title to free chase of the cat, the hare, and the fox, within the hundred of Basingstoke, and showed to the satisfaction of the jury that his ancestors had enjoyed the right from time immemorial, that is to say, from the time of Richard I.” William de Brayboeuf was also one of the circuit judges for the South of England.<\/p>\n

This tomb would have been in a canopied niche against the wall of the Holy Ghost Chapel. The figure apparently wears a long surcoat over chain mail on the left side is a shield which now defaced, and the left hand appears to be grasping the hilt of a sword; what remains of the legs were crossed, and an angel or falcon supported the head.<\/p>\n

HISTORY OF THE CHAPEL OF THE HOLY TRINITY<\/h3>\n

In 1520, during the reign of Henry VIII, Lord Sandys of the Vyne built a new Chapel joined to the south side of the chancel of the Holy Ghost Chapel. This Chapel of the Holy Trinity was intended to be a private burial place for his family. The walls were built of brick with a stone dressing on the inside and outside. The Chapel of the Holy Trinity originally had a rectangular plan of 4 bays, 3-sided apse and a hexagonal stair turret at the south-west corner. At the time this Chapel was added, the east end of the earlier Chapel was altered and both Chapels were given 3 sided apses. The vaulted roof of the Chapel was richly decorated with painted scenes of the Prophets, Apostles and the Disciples.<\/p>\n

The east wall had 9 large elegant windows which in 1592 were glazed in preparation for a visit by Queen Elizabeth I.<\/p>\n

The Flemish stained glass in these windows was reported to have been magnificent and on a par with St Mary\u2019s Church Fairford and Canterbury Cathedral.<\/p>\n

The glass was removed by the Sandys family to protect it from damage during the Civil War [1640s] and never returned. Some of this Tudor glass was put into St Michael\u2019s Church in the centre of Basingstoke but most of it was lost during bombing in 1940.<\/p>\n

The chapel at the Vyne has painted glass windows which are said to be from the Chapel of the Holy Trinity. Small pieces were also used possibly at Mottisfont estate which was the other family home of the Sandys and in Woolbedding Church in West Sussex. Fragments remain in St Michaels and the Holy Ghost Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Who was William Sandys? <\/strong>
\nWilliam Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys of the Vyne (1470 \u2013 4 December 1540) was an English Tudor diplomat, Lord Chamberlain and favourite of King Henry VIII.<\/p>\n

William was the son of Sir William Sandys of The Vyne, a Tudor mansion in Sherborne St. John, near Basingstoke, Hampshire, which the son greatly improved. It now belongs to the National Trust.<\/p>\n

As a young man, he gained preferment at Court and was soon associated with Prince Henry, assisting at his knighthood and the reception of Catherine of Aragon in 1501.<\/p>\n

William remained a great friend of Henry when he became king and held a number of minor posts before becoming Treasurer of Calais in 1517.<\/p>\n

He was made a Knight of the Garter the following year and was instrumental in organising the Royal meeting at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520.<\/p>\n

He was made Baron Sandys of the Vyne soon afterwards.<\/p>\n

William became Lord Chamberlain in 1530 and Henry visited him three times at the Vyne, once with Anne Boleyn whom Sandys was later to escort to her imprisonment in the Tower.<\/p>\n

Sandys later retired from court life and died in Calais on 4 December 1540.<\/p>\n

He was buried in the Holy Trinity Chapel which had been built as a burial place for the Sandys family. All that remains are two slabs with arms and crests. Probably from his parents\u2019 tomb and therefore not where he was buried.<\/p>\n

Sandys married Marjorie Bray, niece and heir of powerful Tudor supporter Sir Reginald Bray. Sir Reginald Bray served as principal minister to Henry VII for eighteen years and was a principal negotiator in arranging Henry VII\u2019s marriage to Elizabeth of York.<\/p>\n

When Bray died in 1503 he left enough funds to enable the building of St George\u2019s Chapel at Windsor Castle to be completed and his executors ensured that this occurred. Bray\u2019s badge of a hemp brake or bray (a tool used by weavers to crush hemp) was added to many areas of St George\u2019s Chapel as work was completed \u2013 in total it features 175 times, on doors, cornices, vault bosses and windows.<\/p>\n

A GUIDE TO THE CHAPEL OF THE HOLY TRINITY<\/h3>\n

The Chapel has deteriorated in recent years and this is particularly clear when comparing the current structure with photos taken during the 1960s when the gravestones in front of the Chapel were removed.<\/p>\n

What survives are the main part of the south and east walls, and the Tower. Externally the fine ashlar work has large openings, with 4 central arches containing signs of cusping at the top of 3 light mullioned windows with thin edge mouldings.<\/p>\n

Between the openings are the remains of canopied niches, with octagonal bosses, thin panels above a plain slender octagonal attached shaft. This design is repeated at the corners of the stair turret, which is otherwise plain, with some small plain windows beneath hood-moulds.<\/p>\n

The south door, beneath a smaller window, has disappeared.<\/p>\n

Features of the Chapel of the Holy Trinity<\/h3>\n

Looking up at the very top of the tower, there is a moulded cornice with a shield or device in the centre of each face with the badges, arms, crests, the motto and initials of the Sandys family who were buried there, together with the badge of the Bray family.<\/p>\n

These have mostly weathered away, but it is possible to make out some of the original features. On the North West face, a square device containing the initials W-M-S for William and Marjorie Sandys<\/p>\n

At one time there would have been elaborate carvings and gargoyles in stone on the angles on the tower. There is one gargoyle remaining nearest the face next to the remaining wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Gargoil<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

Around the centre portion of the tower are three canopied niches which originally held statues or monuments, one on each outward facing angle, four in all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Alcoves<\/p><\/div>\n

The south wall gives only an impression of the quality of the stonework. The basic structure is brick with a fine stone cladding, some of which has come off the brick base.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Window arches<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

Between each pair of openings on the outside wall was a canopied niche, which, like those on the tower, held religious effigies.<\/p>\n

The effigies rested on octagonal pedestals with panelled faces and moulded bases. The pedestals of the niches were richly carved with foliage between shields.<\/p>\n

The canopies were richly carved with finials, pinnacles and crockets (an ornamental addition, usually of curling leaves) of late Gothic design.<\/p>\n

There are five still in existence in various degrees of ruin.<\/p>\n

Walking around the east end of the chapel walls it can be seen that all the windows were apparently all the same size and each had deeply-moulded inside and outside jambs, and three cinque-foiled lights under four-centred heads which can be seen on the south wall.<\/p>\n

Returning into the ruins round the end of the wall, the memorial to Robert Cottle (moved here during the 1960\u2019s) stands over, or near, the resting place of Lord Sir William Sandys, the father of the builder of the chapel.<\/p>\n

Robert Cottle (1788-1859) was a stationer, printer, book binder and postmaster in Winchester Street. He was Mayor 5 times, a prominent member of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute and Honorary secretary to the Art Union of London.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cottle block<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

These are two surviving slabs from the 17th century tombs originally earmarked for William Sandys or his parents. These slabs were made of Black Antoing stone which is a kind of slate known as Antoing marble from the quarries just north of Antoing and were brought from Antwerp in 1536.<\/p>\n

These slabs were placed in their current position around the end of the 19th Century. Following recent vandalism, one of these slabs has now been repaired.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sandy’s slab tomb<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

The eastern slab has emblems on top. A cross raggul\u00e9 which is a Sandys emblem and an almost obliterated winged goat. The best preserved is a Tudor emblem – a Tudor rose halved, with the sun\u2019s rays coming out from the centre.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Inside the tower was a staircase, now destroyed, that led to the higher of the two blocked up doors and to the roof. This originally led to a gallery or roof loft across the west of the chapel. In the spandrels at the top of the door frame are two shields with badly eroded emblems, one is unrecognisable but the other is a ragged cross.<\/p>\n

At present there are a few well preserved headstones in the tower, but at one time there may have been floors inserted in the structure to enable it to be used as a habitation or for meeting rooms for the Guild. Indeed there are very faint traces of there being fires inside the building.<\/p>\n
