Provenance and Acquisition
Feasts of the translation of St Edward (instituted 1161) and of Thomas Becket (canonized 1173) have been added, suggesting the original entries were made before these dates.
'Dedicatio ecclesie Christi Cant.', 4 May, deleted, but other entries confirm the provenance (see Summary Catalogue).
