Notes	Bookplate most likely hails from the Hereford Cathedral Library (http://www.herefordcathedral.org). The Hereford Cathedral Library was established in the beginning of the 12th century, and remains today a theological and reference lending library. It is home of the famous Chained Library, inspired by Thomas Bodley's Duke Humphrey's Library at Oxford. According to G.E. Aylmer and John Eric Tiller's "Hereford Cathedral" (2000), in 1892 the notion to build a new library building was proposed, and was realized under the 1894-1919 dean term of James Wentworth Leigh; Presumably, this is the same "J.W.Leigh" who designed the heraldic crest on this bookplate. Before his appointment as dean, Leigh was vicar of Leamington. ; Institutional
