15thC Sallet or Salade
lantern-slide | ephemera
glass
Steel helmet, possibly Duke of Somerset's, later reused by Col. Fenwick. The helmet [HEXAB2198] was displayed in the Abbey, supported on a steel bracket [HEXAB2124] pre-1908 on N wall of Chancel, post-1908 on S wall of Nave, but since 1989 is in Hexham Old Gaol Museum.
early 20th cent?
Duke of Somerset's Helmet or Colonel John Fenwick's Salade. Dated to c1415. In 1865 part of a helmet was suspended above the site of a former shrine. It is much more probable that it belonged to the vanquished Duke of Somerset, who was beheaded in Hexham Market Place in 1464, and was buried by the Austin Canons within their church. In 1989, under an agreement between the Rector and Tynedale District Council, it was transferred on loan to the Border History Museum and is now displayed in the Old Gaol.
