Catalogue Note
This new edition, the work John Paley, Sir Henry Ellis and the Rev. Bulkeley Bandinel, greatly expanded the first edition of 1655 by drawing on records in the Tower of London and the Cottonian collection. It contains an enormous amount of information on the history of English religious houses and incorporates the charters of foundation, donation and confirmation granted to religious establishments. The fine engraved plates include plans and views of abbeys, cathedrals, monasteries and priories as well as engravings of costumes and seals.
