About: The pretty village of Whitchurch Canonicorum lies neatly in beutiful Marshwood Vale. The man who inspired Shakespeare to write The Tempest, Sir George Somers, and was responsible for the Colonisation of Virginia is buried at in the village. He sailed with nine ships all loaded with settlers but his vessel was wrecked on a coral island. It was one of the Bermuda Islands, the Bermoothes of Shakespeare's play. Somers died on a voyage back to Bermuda for more supplies, in 1610. His heart is buried there but his body was brought back to Whitchurch.
