Account of a Chapter meeting on 09 [Sep] 1620 in the Chapter House a little after 2pm in the presence of Dr [John] Barnston locum tenens of the Dean Dr [John] Bowle, Mr [Giles] Thornburgh [Thornborough] Sub dean, Dr [William] Osberne [Osborne], Dr [Henry] Seward and Dr [Walter] Curll [Curle] canon residentiary. Dr Barnston [communar], Mr Thornborough and Dr Seward Masters of Works, and Dr Osborne Master of Muniments resigned their respective offices. Dr [William] Tooker Master of the Choristers was sick at home and could not come to the Chapter House, so William Colet public notary went to his house and witnessed his resignation from his office of Master of the Choristers. Chapter unanimously elected Dr Barnston as Communar and Official, Mr Thornborough and Dr Seward as Masters of Works, Dr Osborne as Master of Muniments and Dr Curle as Master of the Choristers for the following year. They also elected Mr John Frost as Subcommunar and to the office of altarist which was vacant. The next section is an account of a meeting on that day and in that place regarding fines for Vicars Choral or lay vicars if they were absent or late. The final section appears to be about two vergers being present in the choir for the putting on of surplices and two sextons for noise and crowds in the church. In the presence of William Colet public notary. The latter two sections are similar to part of DA/1/5/26.
