St Peter's Church contains a cenotaph to Sir John Hawkwood, a Hedingham tanner's son who became a highly-
respected mercenary in 14th-century Florence.
They commemorate St Peter
and St Paul and four historical characters linked with Malmesbury`s past: Maildulph, St Aldhelm, William of Malmesbury, and
the monk Eilmer, whose at flight in the 11th
Judge William Blackstone, who wrote Commentaries on the Laws of England, paid for the spire of St Peter's Church, which we can see here in the background.
Note the spire of the 1284 St Peter's Church, the monument, the
much-loved 'eyes of Ruthin' (the prominent rows of dormer windows on the Myddleton Arms), and the
Georgian Castle hotel (right).
The Peter Sellers and Robert Morley film 'Battle of the Sexes' is showing
at the Odeon, but also of interest is the Thrift Shop, an early attempt at a discount store.
