Synopsis

Excerpt from Companion to the Principles of Gothic Ecclesiastical Architecture: Being a Brief Account of the Vestments in Use in the Church, Prior To, and the Changes Therein in and From, the Reign of Edward Vi, Etc., Etc., Etc

When. At the very close Of the sixth century, Augustine and others were sent by Gregory the Great as missionaries into Britain, and happily effected their immediate purpose without molestation, he subsequently transmitted to them, as we learn from Bede, all articles requisite for divine rites; namely, sacred vessels and altar coverings, ornaments pertaining to churches, sacer dotal vestments, relics Of saints and martyrs, and books not a few. He also sent to St. Augustine the pall.

Here we have a record Of the introduction Of the vest ments into the Early anglo-saxon Church. Their sub sequent retention, though differing more or less in fashion in each succeeding age, lasted to the middle Of the sixteenth century, some nine centuries and a half. During the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries, we have, in this country, few, if any, representations Of the vestments then in use.
