Template:Use dmy dates Template:Expand German Elias of Dereham (died 1245) was an English master stonemason designer, closely associated with Bishop Jocelin of Wells.[1]
Elias became a Canon of Salisbury, and oversaw the construction of Salisbury Cathedral. He was also responsible for building work at Clarendon Palace.
The chapter house at Salisbury Cathedral displays a copy of Magna Carta. This copy was brought to Salisbury because Elias, who was present at Runnymede in 1215, was to distribute original copies of the document.[2] He died in 1245.[1]
