Elias of Dereham
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Elias of Dereham (died 1246) was an English master stonemason designer, closely associated with Bishop Jocelin of Wells.
Elias became a Canon of Salisbury, and oversaw the construction of Salisbury Cathedral. He was also responsible for building work at Clarendon Palace.
The chapter house at Salisbury Cathedral displays a copy of Magna Carta. This copy was brought to Salisbury because Elias, who was present at Runnymede in 1215, was to distribute original copies of the document.[1] He died in 1246.
