| According to the history books, Carus died before the minster was built on Church Street and is buried under the new altar. |
| It was quite common in Anglo-Saxon England for one church to act as a minster for a town community, handling all funerals and gathering all the dead into its graveyard. |
| The minster has always been funded by generous gifts and legacies. |
| The minster was at the school on Wednesday to officially open its new dance and drama studios. |
| The authorities of trouble-torn Lincoln Cathedral have been accused by a member of the congregation of putting the ancient minster on a disaster course. |
| A spokesman for the Sheffield Diocese of the Church of England said a minster was considered to be a church which sends members out to bear witness in the community. |
