054 | [Situation] On the northern Side of Nethergate This site appears to have been occupied from the latter part of the 12th Century by a large & magnificent Church, originally founded by David Earl of Huntingdon, but at what precise date does not appear. It is traditionally reputed to have been almost entirely destroyed by Edward I of England upon his invasion & again in the reign of Edward VI in 1548. After undergoing suitable repairs, it was a third time subjected to injury by fire (during the civil wars) in the year 1645 and in the year 1841 the greater portion of the Church was wholly consumed by a fire the cause of which was accidental. Nothing further can be gleaned of the early history of this once splendid building than what is related by Dr. Small in his Statistical account of the Town & neighbourhood & by other writers on the antiquities of the locality |
