Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brown's Stranger's Handbook and Illustrated Guide to Salisbury Cathedral, Being a Full Historical and Descriptive Account of the Building and Monuments: With Eighteen Engravings on Wood Berks, Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, Devon, and possibly a portion of Cornwall, until the beginning of the eighth century. This enormous diocese was subdivided into two sees, about the year 705, when Ina was king of the West Saxons. Two sees were formed out of it, the bishop-stool of the one being fixed at winchester, and of the other at sherbcrne, - the large forest of Selwood which stretched through Wilts and Somerset being fixed upon as a rough and convenient border line between them. Hampshire, Berkshire, and the eastern parts of Wiltshire were retained in the newly-constituted diocese of winchester much of the western portion of Wilt shire, together with the whole of Dorset and Somerset, were included in that of sherborne. It was of this last-named diocese that St. Aldhelm was the first bishop, holding the see from 705 - 709. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
