	The Heroic Age: Saxon Bishop and Celtic King
		Aldhelm seems to deliberately distinguish the Dumnonians from the Britons on "the other side of the strait of the River Severn", and by doing so it might be assumed that they were considered different in their behaviour.
		The specific behaviour described by Aldhelm is further supported by the letter from Archbishop Laurence and his fellow-bishops to the bishops and abbots of the Irish (c.605-10), a fragment of which is preserved by Bede.
		Furthermore, given that Sherborne was established, in all likelihood, near the then border with Dumnonia, Aldhelm as bishop may have had a role in the maintenance of relations between the West Saxons and Dumnonians.

	Sherborne Abbey - About our Churches
		Castleton, from its founding in Norman times and for several centuries thereafter, lay apart from Sherborne and, as its name implies, was an isolated adjunct to the great 12th century castle built by Bishop Roger of Salisbury.
		This building - Castleton’s earliest parish church - the bishop intended, no doubt, for the use of his tenants and retainers who, drawn into a close colony outside the Castle walls, formed what was to become some hundred years later the Borough of Castleton.
		Anciently it was subject to the Bishop of Sarum, under the King in chief.

		Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne in the county of Dorset (died 709), translated the Psalter in another translation with which the name of King Alfred is associated; and the other efforts of that ruler to spread the knowledge of the Scriptures among his people are well known.
		In 1528 he was blamed before Tunstall, bishop of London, as having caused some to desert the mass, the confessional and the worship of images; and seeking safety, he left England for the Continent.
		The remark was not very enthusiastically received except by the King, who caught eagerly at the suggestion of a fresh version, "professing that he could never yet see a Bible well translated in English," and blaming specially the Genevan version, probably on account of the pointed character of its marginal notes.
