Canon Richard Dixon's "History of the Church of England, Vol. 2," 38ff.

MONASTERY CLOSURES, RELICS, AND WAGON LOADS OF GOODS TO THE KING—PLATES, GOLD, SILVER, ETC. Crumwell chides Ingsworth, a royal visitor, for his dilatoriness and delaying niceties in suppressions (39). The state in which he found the friars (40). The career of Doctor London, a spectacular performer at suppression. (41). His former history and character—an action man. He suppresses about thirty houses in about four months (42). He destroys a chantry and the chantry priest dashes off with a one-winged angel. His notorious visit to Godstow nunnery (43). His great ability for the sort of work (44). Consternation among the religious (46). Especially among the friars of the North, who surrender themselves in large numbers (47). Great destruction of relics and images (48). Sketch of the history of relics (49). Pilgrimages and the abuse of them. Stories of feigned relics that were destroyed (52). The Angel of Caversham. The famous Rood of Boxley (53). The Blood of Hales. Latimer's doings this year; he pleads to Crumwell for some of the religious houses thinking they may be converted to other purposes (54). Latimer is jocular, but also heart-broken. He urges Crumwel to save something out of the wreckages (55). (We'd note that Cranmer thought like Latimer, hoping some of these religious institutions to be converted to educational purposes or hospital services.) The Image of Darvel Gadern, a statute with the power to pluck one from hell (56). The statute is ceremoniously burned at Smithfield to guffaws and ridicules. The imprisoned religious. Friar Forest, the obstinate Observant. His horrible execution at Smithfield at which Latimer preaches (57).
