Edward Story, fellow of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and later master of Michaelhouse,
was also, in two terms as chancellor, a university administrator. But it was as a
royal servant that he rose to eminence from about 1460 to serve succeeding monarchs
with the impartial efficiency of a career civil servant. Bishop of Carlisle from 1468,
he was translated in 1478 to Chichester, which, although conterminous with the county
of Sussex, contained several exempt jurisdictions, notably the archbishop of Canterbury's
deanery of South Malling. The register begins with Story's primary visitation of his
diocese. The full record reveals both the shortcomings of the cathedral chapter and
of those religious houses subject to episcopal jurisdiction. Besides purely diocesan
matters such as ordinations, collations and institutions, clerical indiscipline and
the exercise of his judicial authority, the extraordinary actions required of the
bishop are reflected not only in reports of local suspicions of heresy, but also in
matters of national importance such as summonses to convocation, clerical taxation,
natural disasters such as plague, and external threats to the kingdom. The documents
are presented here with full notes and introduction
