Image title
The head-piece to a survey by Richard Pollerd and Thomas Moyle, Henry VIII's commissioners, of the lands of St John's Abbey, Colchester, compiled shortly after the dissolution of the abbey. The scene (top-right) is a copy of Lucas van Leyden's engraving of the Triumph of Mordecai, apparently intended to symbolise the judge leaving the town after the trial for treason of the last abbot, John Beche. The execution, which took place on 1 December 1539, is represented in the background
