Memorials of the South Saxon See and Cathedral Church of Chichester (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memorials of the South Saxon See and Cathedral Church of Chichester My aim in the present work, therefore, has been to dwell more particularly on such matters as are really typical illustrations or specimens of the condition of the Church and Realm during several eras of their existence. This design is indicated by the title Memorials the book is not a history - it does not profess to relate every thing about the See or Cathedral, but only such things as deserve more particular note. Moreover it is concerned with memorials of the See rather than of the Diocese - that is, it keeps on the whole pretty closely to the history of the Church which contained the Bishop's Sedes or See, and to the men who occupied that See. The succession of the Bishops, in fact, forms the thread on which the whole narrative is strung, and is not without its value as helping to prove the continuity in the life of the national Church. Some account of the principal documents in the Muni ment-room to which reference has been made in the following pages may be useful to those who shall at any time have occasion to examine the Records.
