	Hugh of Lincoln and other figures
		Hugh refused to take office until these persons had been paid "to the last penny." He intervened again on behalf of the builders, whose pay was not forthcoming.
		At last Hugh said, "How like you are to your relations at Falaise." The king might have resented this allusion to the humble birth of William the Conqueror's mother, the daughter of a glove-maker, but he only laughed, and the quarrel was made up.

	Dean of Lincoln's Remarks April 17, 2004
		Lincoln has its own saint — Hugh of Avalon who died in 1200 — King John, a man not noted for his love of the Church, was one of the pall bearers at his funeral.
		It is a measure of Hugh’s extraordinary spiritual power that John not only accepted the warning but, as we have seen, came to Lincoln to be present at the saint’s burial later that year.
		Hugh was made a saint in 1220 and his cult became so popular that it was decided to extend the east end of the Cathedral and by 1280 what we know as the Angel Choir ready to accept Hugh’s remains in a great shrine.

		His Master's touch [175] had healed many such an one in days gone by, and he felt that in touching them he "touched the hand of Him who touched the leper of old in Galilee." Gently and lovingly the Bishop tended the poor outcasts.
		Then Hugh went to kneel humbly in the lowest [177] place in the chapel, until the service was over and he could explain why he had refused to send the money demanded of him.
