Chichester
At the end of the 17th century the full number of Canons Residentiary, at Chichester Cathedral, was four. In 1661 when one of the Canons Residentiary (Nicholas Garbrand) resigned, he was not replaced. In 1663 Thomas, who by that time was chancellor, made the number of  residentiaries back up to four. When he eventually became Dean in 1671, he continued to hold the residentiary post. He was the last person, at Chichester, to hold the post of  Canon Residentiary and Dean simultaneously. Monument
Lambrocus Thomas died 27 November 1672. Thomas Abingdon writing in 1717 recorded that a memorial plaque in black marble  had been attached to the north wall at the upper end of the Chichester Cathedral chancel. The original text was in Latin, an English translation follows:
