The Council of Trent acknowledged that there were living liturgical traditions, legitimate variations of the Roman Rite, that were worthy of preservation. The Sarum Rite or Use, for one, which inhabited British lands for centuries prior to Trent and for a time continued among recusants during the Tudor persecutions, preserved elements of ancient Christian liturgical custom, east and west, and formed the core of Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer. That legacy, tested and purified, has been returned to the Church in and through the Ordinariate Liturgy.
The Sarum Use was an elaborate variant of the ancient Mass and predates the modestly reformed Mass of the Council of Trent by no less than four centuries. The Ordinariate Mass draws on the ancient Sarum Use Liturgy established by Saint Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury. It is generally accepted that Richard le Poore, Dean of Salisbury from 1198 to 1215 and bishop of the Diocese from 1217 to 1228, was central to the development of the Sarum Use.
