Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Greater Abbeys of England The Abbeys of England, ruined, dismantled, and time-worn, are fitting memorials of a great past. From any point of view, and whatever our opinion about the utility or purpose of monastic life in general and about English monastic life in particular, we are constrained to confess that the monks of old, who built up these "Cliffs of Walls" and ornamented them with all the wealth of carving, panelling, and moulding still to be traced amid the moss-grown ruins, have left, scattered over the whole face of their country, monuments of their great work and stone records of their existence in the land from the earliest period of our national history. The fascination undoubtedly exerted over the mind of most people by these memorials of a past, whether actually in ruins or partially saved from the general wreck of the sixteenth century, may be taken to dispense with any apology for the existence of such a book as this. Those who go to visit what may be described, without exaggeration, as the most attractive spots in this land of many interests, old and new, naturally desire to possess some knowledge of the past history of these desecrated sanctuaries and to have some lasting memorial of their visit.
