Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Surrey Archaeological Collections, Vol. 4: Relating to the History and Antiquities of the County
Had we stood here just one hundred years ago we should have seen Titsey as it was, we should have gazed upon a venerable fabric below us, the ancient church carrying our eye on, we should have seen the old manor house, built - so says tradition-by one John Uvedale (temp. Henry and the old Pilgrim's way running through the park close by the churchyard wall. I say one hundred years ago, because it was between 1700 and 1776 (that fatal era to art and architecture) that the work of destruction was done, that of the manor house being only the preface to that still more fatal deed, the destruction of the church in 17 75. We can boast of what is very rare in Surrey, a Roman Villa - which you have just visited.
