Notes

  1. The identification of Walter Lamb the composer included in the Eton and other choirbooks, with Walter Lambe the King's Scholar of Eton is likely but not absolutely established.[1]
  2. At Holy Trinity College, Arundel was associated with the production of both the Lambeth and Caius choirbooks.
