Other lists follow, and contain goods and ornaments that were
missing, or that had been sold by various churchwardens since
the beginning of the reign of Edward VI.
From these we learn that the church had also possessed such
vestments and ornaments as the following:
"Item a vestment of blewe velvyt with a crosse of redde
velvyt sprenged with gold with all thinges perteyninge to
the same."
"All thinges perteyninge to the same" here includes the vestments
for the assistants, and the stoles, maniples, and apparels.
