LRS-Vol-15
This is the third and last volume of the great minute book of the Chapter Acts of Lincoln Cathedral which from its bulk and weight had gained itself the name of the Liber Crassus. It contains folios 277-464d covering the period from 19 September 1547 to 19 September 1559. As seen in the previous two volumes there is a long and informative introduction which sets the historical scene both nationally and locally.

Adapted from the Introduction to the volume.
