Hilary, two years before this change was made, had been consecrated Bishop of Chichester, and subsequently became one of the episcopal opponents of Thomas Becket. Hence- forth, until the dissolution in the reign of Henry VIII. , the head of the religious community at Christchurch was a prior, who was, according to a charter granted by Richard de Red- vers in 1 1 60, elected by the canons. There were, in all, twenty-six priors, and their names have come down to us, but with only the most meagre ...notices of the architectural work which was carried on by each of them. Extensive, however, it must have been ; and from what we see of the church itself, it would seem as if building operations must have been almost constantly in progress. In all probability there was, according to the usual plan of Norman churches, a tower at the junction of the nave and transepts, and beyond this an apsidal choir. But there is no documentary record of such a tower ever having been built or fallen, although its existence is rendered probable by a carving of a church with tower and spire on Draper's chantry, and by HISTORY OF THE BUILDING 71 a similar representation on a seal, and in two other parts of the building.
