Title

A survey of the cathedrals of York, Durham, Carlisle, Chester, Man, Lichfield, Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester, and Bristol. Giving an account of their foundations, builders, antient monuments and inscription, endowments, alienations, sales of lands, patronages; dates of consecration, admission, preferment, deaths, burials, and epitaphs of the archbishops, bishops, deans, precentors, chancellors, treasurers, archdeacons, and prebendaries, in each stall belonging to them. With an extra account of all the churches and chapels in every diocese; distinguished under their proper archdeaconries and deanaries; the patrons of them, to what religious houses impropriated, and to what saints many of them are dedicated. The whole extracted from numerous collections out of the registers of every particular see, old wills, records in the Tower, and Rolls Chapel. And illustrated with 20 curious draughts of the ichnographies and uprights of every cathedral; newly taken to rectify the erroneous representations of them in the monasticon, and other authors. By Browne Willis Esq;.
