Tomb of Bishop Ken
10/113 outside east end of
Church of St John
II
2.
Mid C19 housing to early C18 grave. Significant position outside the chancel.
Low gabled housing built, buttressed and roofed in stone with open cusped side
arches closed by wrought-iron palisades. The interior has a coffin-shaped slab
with empty metal banding over with only a crozier and a mitre on it. Bishop Ken
(1637-1711) was one of the seven Bishops who refused the oath of Indulgence 1689
to William and Mary and was consequently deprived of his See of Bath and Wells.
Hence the symbolism: an empty grave, and empty coffin, outside the church.
