Matrons' House Dedication

Buildings

A b&w photo of the ornamentation on an old building near Salisbury Cathedral.

The sign above the door reads 'Collegium Hoc Matronarum Do Oo Mo Humillime Dedicavit Sethus Episcopus Sarum Anno Domini MDCLXXXII' and this translates roughly as 'This Matrons' College is humbly dedicated to each of them by Bishop Seth AD 1682'

Bishop Seth Ward bought and donated the freehold as well as paying for the building of the college. It was to provide sheltered accommodation for up to ten widows of clergy, taken from the Diocese of Salisbury and Exeter.
