Synopsis

The Three Choirs: A Handbook to the Cathedrals of Gloucester, Hereford, and Worcester A Complete Description of the Buildings, a History of Each Diocese and Biographical Notices of the Bishops. 

The single authority for the architectural history of Gloucester Cathedral is Abbot Froucester’s Chronicle of the abbey, including lives of the twenty abbots after the Conquest. Of this Chronicle transcripts exist in the Chapter Library at Gloucester; in the Library of Queen’s College, Oxford; and in the British Museum. The original MS., which was preserved at Gloucester, disappeared mysteriously from the Chapter Library during the present century. An ancient copy, however,—if it be not the original Gloucester MS.,—was recently discovered in a vault under the Rolls Chapel; and is about to be published in the{4} series of Chronicles edited under the direction of the Master of the Rolls
