SIR THOMAS MORE'S HEAD.—A few days since, in
making some necessary repairs in St. Dunstan's Church, Canter-
bury, a box was found, containing the head of the great Lord Chan-
cellor of England, who was condemned to the block by that ruth•
less King,- Henry VIII. for refusing to take the oath of supre-
macy to that self-willed Monarch. The head, with the exception of
a few of the teeth, was much decayed; and the sacred remains have
been restored to their resting place. Our readers arc aware that
Sir Thomas was beheaded on the 6th of July, 1.3:;5, in the :53d
year of his age, but they are nut perhaps equally aware, that after
the execution, though the booty was buried in the Church of St.
Peter, in the Tower, and afterwards in Chelsea Church, where it
now lies, yet his head was set on a pole upon London Bridge ; and
was afterwards privately bought by his daughter Margaret, wife of
John Roper, Esq. (a distinguished family lung resident in the parish
of St. Dunstan's). Ills daughter preserved the head in a box, with
much devotion, and placed it in a vault, partly in the wall on the
south side of the Church, where it was recently discovered, and
very near to her own tomb. The south chancel of the Church is
called the Roper chancel; and there hung the helmet anti surcoat,
with the arms of Sir T. More on in —Ala llcrald.
