Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from An Existence of the Past

Chertsey Abbey is richer in manuscript records than in architectural remains, but much more has been written about the ruined buildings and the fragmentary relics than of the human lives which gave order, beauty, and mean ing to the scattered dust of ages.

Chertsey may well claim a place among the Historic Towns of England, its charter ante-dated even that of the borough of Guildford. Its history, however, has not yet been written. The present attempt is only an intro duction by an amateur, and it is hoped that a more adequate presentation of its past history may be under taken by a competent writer 'stores of interesting items are locked up in tomes and rolls, and invite the attention of a leisured student.
