Summary

Description

Southwark Cathedral monument to Lancelot Andrewes (1555 – 1626) (from https://cathedral.southwark.anglican.org/about/our-history/famous-people/): "the only Bishop of Winchester to be buried in Southwark Cathedral although at the time of his death it would have been known as St Saviour’s, the local parish church. Born in 1555, he was baptised at All Hallows–by-the–Tower in which parish he was probably born. He was educated at Merchant Taylors’ School and then went onto Pembroke College, Cambridge. He became Master of Pembroke and subsequently Bishop of Chichester, Bishop of Ely and then Bishop of Winchester in 1619. He was also a Prelate to the Order of the Garter and the last episcopal resident of Winchester House which was conveniently situated for his Privy Council duties. Described as a brilliant scholar and linguist and also an able administrator, Andrewes was commissioned to be part of the team that provided the translation for the Authorised Version of the Bible also known as the King James Bible. He is personally credited for his translation of the Pentateuch – the first five books of the Bible in the Old Testament (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). His tomb can be found to the right of the Great Screen".

Heraldry: centre, arms of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors. This sign has apparently been stolen from Southwark Cathedral, as it appears on File:Concordia.JPG (13 July 2006) as "Pub sign for sale in Greenwich market, London"
