Excerpt from Monuments of English Municipal Life
The use of literary evidence to correct the opinions of expert antiquaries is of frequent occurrence. The haisla on the railings outside Great St. Mary's Church, Cambridge, are not exammes of the best work of the fifteenth century; they were supplied to the churchwardens in 1851. The skulls found at the corner of Park Street and Jesus Lane in the same town were not those of ancient Britons or Romans or Danes, but, as the parochial registers of All Saints' showed, those of early Quakers.
