ESSAY. 31
Other notices occur in the same author of
churches built in or near his own time, some
of which are expressly said to have been built
of stone, as St. Peter's, in York, last men-
tioned, and the church at Lincoln, built by
Paulinus, after he had converted Blaecca,pre-
fect or governor of that city, which was a
stone church of excellent workmanshipg; and
those other churches he speaks of might have
been of stone, for aught that appears to the
contrary. Bede is indeed rather sparing in
his description of them; so that little is to be
collected from him of their manner of build-
ing; he says nothing, in direct terms, either of
pillars or arches in any of his churches, though
the word portions, which he frequently uses,
may be said to imply both; as it certainly does
in some instances, if not in all. He is a little
more particular in his account of St. Peter's
church, in the monastery of Wermouth, in the
neighbourhood of Gyrwi, where he had his
education and lived all his days. This was
built by the famous Benedict Biscopius h: in
lhe year 6J5, this abbat went over into France,
to engage workmen to build his church after
church, were only buried in the porch, the custom of that age
going no further." Collier's Ob. Hist. vol. i. p. 86.
