Excerpt from The Book of the Illustrious HenriesThe town of Lynn stands on the east side of the mouth of the Ouse. It has been called Lynn Regis since the time of Henry the Eighth: before, it had been called Lynn Episcopi, or Bishop's Lynn. It is a very interesting place, and still retains many proofs of its importance in the Middle Ages, in its five Churches, its noble old gates, and in the remnants of its once numerous Monasteries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
