Rosamond is stated to have been buried at first in the choir before the high altar, but St. Hugh on visiting the Nunnery in 1191 gave orders that the body was to be taken up and buried outside the churoh, It would appear, however, that she was rehuried in the Chapter House, where her remains were allowed to remain till the Reformation, about whioh time, according to Leland, "Rosamond's tombe at Godstowe Nunnery was taken up alate." 122 CHURCHWARDENS' ACCOUNTS.
