Description: Worcester Cathedral, monument to Richard Edes (1555–1604), Dean of Worcester between 1597 and 1604, which was produced on the instructions of his wife Margaret. Edes went to Christ Church College, Oxford. He was made one of Queen Elizabeth I’s chaplains. He was famous for his preaching and conversation. He would have been involved in the Oxford University group appointed by King James to produce a new translation of the Bible. Unfortunately, he died in the same year before he could do much for this enterprise. Besides Edes’ plays and poems, he made a description in Latin of a trip to the North of England with his friend Dr. Toby Matthew entitled Iter Boreale or Northern Journey. He also gave a sum of money to the Bodleian Library in Oxford. He was buried in the Lady Chapel of Worcester Cathedral.
