Note 129 — Chapter IV · OTHER OLD BUILDINGS IN RIPON.
Reading edition
This view is held by Mr. Micklethwaite. The white tesseræ in the medallion resemble some which were dug up in 1837 on the site assigned by Leland to the ‘Old Abbay of Ripon’ and which have been adduced to support the view that Wilfrid’s Abbey Church stood on that site and not on the site of the present Cathedral (see p. 77 and n. 4 there).
