VIII. An Extract of a Letter from the same to William Bogdani Esq; October 7, 1741, concerning an extraordinary Interment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
In a letter to me from Mr. Symson, master of the works of the cathedral at Lincoln, dated 28 September last, I was informed, that, in digging a grave at the west end of that church, they opened the foot of an ancient sepuichre.—The corpse was sewed up in a strong tanned leather hide, the seam running up the middle of the breast.—I should suppose it to be some great lay lord, before the custom prevailed of laying them within the church itself.
