Memorial to Thomas Neville, Canterbury Cathedral
Memorial to Thomas Neville, Canterbury Cathedral
1544 to 1614 - a man who was held in affection and trust by his fellow countrymen as a person of culture, integrity and good taste. He achieved considerable status as Master of Trinity College Cambridge and subsequently as Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. Such was the trust and regard in which Neville was held that he was chosen by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the important function of bearing the united greetings of the clergy of England to King James in Scotland on his accession to the throne. When King James visited him at Cambridge in 1614, he stated that he was "proud of such a subject". A contemporary at Cambridge said of him: "he never had his like for a splendid, courteous and bountiful gentleman".
With the motto "Ne Vile Velis" Neville was able to embody his personal philosophy in a phrase that incorporated his own name (which he spelt Nevile). Its meaning is essentially: "Nothing distasteful or vulgar".
