This article discusses why the chapter would purchase a seal matrix when they already had a common seal, and reveals the rediscovery in 2018 of the original 12th-century silver matrix of the seal of the chapter of Lincoln Cathedral.
The 14th-century audit accounts of the chapter of Lincoln Cathedral record expenditure for the year 1305-06, and contain valuable information about the manufacture of a silver matrix for a 'great seal'. This short note considers why the chapter might have spent a large sum of money on a seal matrix when they already possessed a common seal, and reveals the rediscovery in 2018 of the original 12th-century silver matrix of the seal of the chapter of Lincoln Cathedral.
