Excerpt from A Short Account of Romsey Abbey: A Description of Fabric and Notes on the History of the Convent of Ss; Mary Ethelfleda The architectural and descriptive part of this book is the result of careful personal examination of the fabric, made when the author has visited the abbey at various times during the last twenty years. The illustrations are reproduced from photo graphs taken by him on the occasions of these visits. The historical information has been derived from many sources. Among these may especially be mentioned An Essay descriptive of the Abbey Church of Romsey, by C. Spence, the first edition of which was published in 1851; the small ofiicial guide sold in the church, and Records of Romsey Abbey, compiled from manuscript and printed records, by the Rev. Henry G. D. Liveing, m.a., Vicar of Hyde, Win chester, 1906. This last-named work contains all that is at present known, or that is likely to be known, of the history of the abbey from its foundation early in the ninth century up to the year 1558. To this book the reader who desires fuller information and minuter details than could be given in the following pages is referred. The thanks of the writer are due to the late and present Vicars for kind permission to examine the building, and to take photographs of it from any point of view he desired.
