As to the time when the Chapter Houfe was built, nothing can be determined with Drake fays, that it is as old as the Church itfelf, but the Style of Architecture ihews thatit is of a much later Date. The Patronage that I have already received will ftimulate me in the execution of the prefentWork, and the Public may be afTured that the future Numbers will not be inferior to the onenow prefented.
