Title: Thomas de Aston and the Diocese of Lincoln by Nicholas Bennett and David Marcombe
Summary: The book examines the life and career of Thomas de Aston, a late14th-century churchman associated with Lincoln Cathedral, and uses him to illuminate wider aspects of the medieval Diocese of Lincoln.
Nicholas Bennett's study, “Clerical Non-Residence in the Diocese of Lincoln in the Fourteenth Century” (pp. 4–31), looks at the problem of clergy who held ecclesiastical offices but did not live permanently at their benefices. It places Thomas de Aston within the administrative and institutional world of the diocese and considers how clerical careers, prebends and absenteeism worked in the fourteenth-century Church. 
David Marcombe's study, “Thomas de Aston: The Chantries and Charities of a Fourteenth-Century Archdeacon” (pp. 32–55), focuses much more closely on Aston himself. It examines his charitable and religious foundations, particularly his work at Spital-in-the-Street, where he was responsible for rebuilding the chapel of St Edmund and establishing a chantry and provision for poor people.
