PREFACE.

THE
HE five cathedrals-Bristol, Gloucester, Here-

ford, Worcester, and Lichfield-contained in the present division of the Handbook, have all undergone extensive restoration and repair during the last few years. Acknowledgment of much kind assistance and revision is due to Mr. Pope, architect to the Dean and Chapter at Bristol; to Mr. Waller, at Gloucester; to Mr. Perkins, at Worcester; and lastly, to Mr. G. G. Scott, R.A., under whom the cathedrals of Hereford and Lichfield have been restored to their ancient beauty.

The published essays and reports of Professor Willis have been freely used throughout the volume. Such obligations have been duly recognised in the notes; but it is proper to refer in an especial manner to the great assistance which has been derived from the "Architectural History of Worcester Cathedral," printed in the twentieth volume of the Archæological

Journal. Mr. Godwin's account of Bristol Cathedral, in the same volume, and Mr. Bloxam's paper on the "Sepulchral Monuments in Worcester Cathedral," to be found in the "Gentleman's Magazine" for October, 1862, should also be mentioned here, and with a similar acknowledgment.

RICHARD JOHN KING.
