| Oak Boss from Prior Rowland Leschman's Chantry HEXAB3174 Drawing at real size, made from cast in London (but where in London?) by Charles Clement Hodges. Signed, no date. This is an example of Hodges's determination to learn as much about the Abbey as possible – no matter where the evidence was to be found. | |||||||||
