Giving an account of their foundations, builders, antient monuments and inscriptions, endowments, alienations, sales of lands, patronages; dates of consecration, admission, preferment, deaths, burials, and epitaphs of the archbishops, bishops, deans, precentors, chancellors, treasurers, archdeacons, and prebendaries, in each stall belonging to them. With an exact account of all the churches and chapels in every diocese; distinguished under their proper archeadonries and deanaries, the patrons of them, to what religious houses impropriated, and to what saints many of them are dedicated.

And illustrated with 20 curious draughts of the ichnographies and uprights of every cathedral; newly taken to rectify the erroneous representations of them in the Monasticon, and other authors.
