Description | Generated by the architectural club's request to borrow, for an exhibition, some items from The Oakley Collection, a set of models of the English cathedrals made for Sir Herbert Oakley. The collection was presented to the dean and chapter in 1916 and thereafter kept in the crypt. Includes a copy of the donor, Edward Murray Oakley's printed description of the collection (1916), and letters over the request dating from 1923-4. |
