Ealdred of Cornwall stated that it was written by Sigeric, but it is unlikely that the document was actually written by the archbishop. In 993 or 994, Sigeric conducted the ceremony rededicating the Old Minster at Winchester, an event that the historian H. R. Loyn calls "magnificent". While Sigeric was an abbot, Ælfric dedicated a book of translated homilies to him. He also advised Æthelred to found Cholsey Abbey in Berkshire (the site is now in Oxfordshire), in honour of King Edward the Martyr, as well as having Edward memorialised at Shaftesbury Abbey. Death and legacy Sigeric died on 28 October 994. He was buried in Christ Church, Canterbury. His will left wall hangings to Glastonbury Abbey as well as a collection of books to Canterbury.
