Description: | This manuscript was originally compiled in 1380 by Thomas Walsingham, the precentor of the Benedictine abbey of St. Albans, as a record of those who had made gifts to the abbey.
After lists of gifts from abbots of St. Albans is a list of gifts from bishops. Here Richard De Bury is shown with three books, Thomas De Hatfield with a costly vessel, and Thomas De Arundell is pointing to trees, because he contributed four great beams of wood for building work. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
