He acted on the principle that a churchman should hold no secular office. While qn a visit to Godstowe nunnery, he 102 The Cathedrals of England saw the body of Rosamond Clifford lying in the choir under a silken canopy with candles burning around it. He did not consider this a fit companion for holy women, and caused it to be taken to the chapter-house, ...where it remained till the time of Henry VIII. , when the bones were thrown broadcast.
We are told that many monks lived so close to nature that they had wonderful power over wild beasts and birds. Squirrels would leap into their hands or hide in their cowls. The birds would cease to sing while the monks were chanting hymns, and at the close would resume their song as if nothing had hap- pened. It was even reported that stags once came out of the forest and offered their serv- ices to monks who were ploughing, in place of the oxen taken away by hunters.
