Summary Note

Although a publication-date of 1733 is carried by the title page, this issue was brought out by Thomas Osborne in 1742 to accompany his reissue of Willis's A Survey of the Cathedrals.

It is a detailed listing of the churches and chapels within the then Province of Canterbury. Unlike Willis's cathedral surveys, it does not describe the architecture of the buildings.

Provenance

Acquired between 1769 and 1802. Recorded in RAA Library, Catalogue, 1802.

Binding Note

20th-century calf; gilt-decorated spine lettered 'Willis's Cathedrals Vol. III'. Bound with B. Willis's A Survey Of The Cathedrals Of York ..., Vol. III. (London, 1742).
