Mediaeval Hospitals of England
First Published in 2004. The study of these ancient charities calls attention to extent of leprosy in England and the early foundations for strangers linked to the widespread practice of pilgrimage. This title aims to serve as an example and pattern for young and earnest students of real history, the history of ordinary human beings rather than of generals and of kings. This also acts as a book of reference for readers and writers, a treatise on the Mediaeval Hospitals of England.
The Cathedrals of Great Britain
The Cathedrals of Great Britain is a work by P. H. Ditchfield. It delves into the architecture and history of British cathedrals. Excerpt: "In our cathedrals we have endless varieties of plan, construction, style and adornment, as well as in the associations connected with their histories. They derive their name from the Latin word Cathedra (Greek, [Greek: Kathedra]), signifying a seat, a cathedral church being that particular church of the diocese where the bishop's seat or throne is placed. If this church belonged to a monastery it was served by the monks, but many of our cathedrals were in the hands of secular canons, who were not monks, and should not be confused with the "regular" clergy."
