== IRHB comments ==
Brackets added by IRHB. The recipient of this letter from Cardinal Wolsey was Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk (1473-1554) (whose father, the 2nd duke, had just died in May of 1524). This rather long letter which runs to seven pages of printed text was begun July 29th to 31st and finished on August 1 (pp. 85, 92). For an attempt to locate the site of the cross, see [[Robin Hood's Cross (Aunby)]].
