About This Book

The volume traces the church's origins from early, possibly Roman, occupation through medieval re-foundation as an Augustinian priory and later collegiate church, recounting archaeological finds, documentary evidence, and changes in patronage and structure. It describes the exterior and interior fabric in architectural detail, records monuments, windows, fittings and the organ, and chronicles nineteenth-century restorations with reference to architects and clerical officers. Illustrations, plans, and appendices supply lists of priors and chaplains, seals, inventories of plate and vestments, and a diocesan outline, providing a compact historical and descriptive guide to the building and its institutions.
