Excerpt from The Somerset Diocese, Bath and Wells
My thanks are due to the Commissioners on Historical Manuscripts for allowing me to see, while yet in the press, the Calendars of the Wells Chapter Records, drawn up by the Rev. J. A. Bennett, rector of South Cadbury, to whom, also, I would express my thanks for his ready permission to use his work, and for much other help. Had I seen these interesting Calendars earlier my labour would have been lighter, and the result probably more satisfactory. To the Right Reverend Bishop Hobhouse, D. D., who has most kindly supplied me with much matter from manuscripts at Wells, to the Rev. C. M. Church, Canon of Wells, to E. Green, Esq., to the Rev. J. Hardman, LL. D., and other clergy of the diocese, I am indebted for help of various kinds, and especially for extracts from unpublished documents.
