Abstract:		 An inspection and photographic survey was undertaken of the King Edward I monument. Recent repairs to the monument had seen the base of the monument exposed, revealing a number of incised inscriptions on some of the reused blocks within the base. The survey recorded a number of blocks of stone with Latin inscriptions upon them, which appeared to relate to the original monument set up in 1685 by the Duke of Norfolk. The stones recovered showed clearly that the first monument was a pillar, and a very grand affair, giving a good indication of the psyche of the man who erected the monument. The actual dedication to King Edward I amounted to only one paragraph, stating he was much revered and highlighting the situation of his death. The rest of the inscriptions appeared to relate solely to the dedicator, who appeared to have been 'rehearsing his pedigree' by highlighting his estates and positions. [Au(abr)]
