Acknowledgments

I should like to express my gratitude for the help received in the course of preparing this volume to the staff of the West Sussex Record Office. I am also most grateful to the many parish clergymen who kindly supplied details from parish registers. However, my thanks are chiefly due to Mr. W. D. Peckham of Chichester, who once again most generously put his biographical work on the cathedral at my disposal, and from his long familiarity with the subject gave much valuable advice.
