Description

Remigius, who was appointed to the bishopric of Dorchester-on-Thames in 1067, is important above all as the bishop who transferred the site of his diocese’s cathedral church to Lincoln, where it has remained ever since.  Remigius’ achievements are undeniably massive ones and above all, he established a new episcopal centre, and he did this in one of the largest dioceses in western Europe.  The foundations he laid were the basis of the future prosperity of the bishopric of Lincoln

Honywood Press is named in honour of Michael Honywood (Dean of Lincoln, 1660-1681) whose notable benefactions to the Cathedral included both the building of the Wren Library and much of the unique collection of rare books and manuscripts that it houses.
