The following is
one of the items, the spelling being typical of the whole book:
'ITEM.--Yt is Ordynyd at every Remevall that the Deyn Subdean

Grome of the Vestry shall have apontid theime ii Cariadges at every

We have seen the astonishingly tall spire of Hemingbrough Church from
the battlements of Wressle Castle, and when we have given a last look
at the grey walls and the windows, filled with their enormously heavy
tracery, we betake ourselves along a pleasant lane that brings us at
length to the river. The soaring spire is 120 feet in height, or twice
that of the tower, and this hugeness is perhaps out of proportion with
the rest of the building; yet I do not think for a moment that this
great spire could have been different without robbing the church of its
striking and pleasing individuality.
