Some pre-See also:Norman See also:work appears in the western See also:wall, the tower See also:arches and south See also:porch are Norman, and there are an See also:Early See also:English See also:chapel and some Decorated windows.

As there is no See also:evidence of See also:Roman or See also:British See also:settlement, it is probable that Sherborne (Scireburn, Shireburne) See also:grew up after the Saxon See also:conquest of the See also:country from the See also:Corn-Welsh in the middle of the 7th century.

abbot. The see, which was See also:united with that of Ramsbury in Io58, was removed to Old Sarum in 1075. In Io86 the bishop of Sarum and the monks of Sherborne held the place, which seems to have been of See also:fair See also:size and an agricultural centre. On the separation of the offices of bishop and abbot in 1122, the abbot's See also:fee was carved out of the bishop's See also:manor, but did not include the town.

Its strength made See also:Stephen force Bishop Roger to surrender it in 1139, but during the See also:civil See also:war in his reign it passed into the hands of the empress Maud. It was later granted to the earls of See also:Salisbury, who, seem to have allowed it to fall into disrepair, for in 1315 and in 1319 the abbot of Sherborne was appointed to inquire into its See also:condition. It was recovered by the bishop in 1355, and retained by the see until granted in 1599 to See also:Elizabeth, who gave it to Sir Walter Raleigh. The abbey church was partly burnt in 1437, in a See also:riot due to the monks' refusal to recognize the town's chapel of All Hallowes as the parish church, though they had restricted their use of the abbey church for parochial purposes. Signs of this See also:fire are still visible on the walls, which are in See also:part tinged red by the flames.

In 1540 Sir John Horsey, who had bought the manor and church at the Dissolution, sold the abbey to the See also:vicar and parishioners. The See also:Reformation made no break in the continuity of the school, which had probably existed in the abbey since the 11th century. Edward VI. by his See also:charter in 155o made its See also:governors one of the first purely See also:lay educational corporations founded in England. The town suffered severely during the civil See also:wars, the castle being besieged by the parliamentary forces in 1642 and 1645. The fairs now held on the 8th of May, the 26th of See also:July and the first See also:Monday after the loth of See also:October were granted to the bishop in 1227, 1240 and 1300.
