[198] Viollet-le-Duc, _ut supra_, p. 14. I have myself examined this
press. My friend Mr Hope informs me that there is a press of this
character in the nether vestry at S. Peter Mancroft, Norwich, described by
him in _Inventories of the parish church of S. Peter Mancroft, Norwich_,
Norf. and Norw. Archaeol. Soc, XIV. p. 29.

Gloucester_, in _Records of Gloucester Cathedral_, 1897, p. 23.

is describing the mischief done by the rioters of 1327: Deinde claustrum

James, _On the Abbey of S. Edmund at Bury_, Camb. Ant. Soc. Octav. Publ.
No. XXVIII. p. 158.
