Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Church and Fortress of Dover Castle
The half -buried and dismantled walls of the old Church of St. Mary-at-the-castle, - and were pleased to receive from me such account as I could then give of the chief points of antiquarian interest around them, - I responded to a desire expressed at a gene ral meeting, and undertook to expand the substance of that day's lecture into a more detailed and perma nent form. This is the Simple account of the few following pages, which have been put together partly in deference to the Society, and partly with a view to more general readers. It must be understood that I only venture to write in a suggesting and tentative tone, without pretending to any complete, or even very close treatment of the subject. Many of the data are obscure, many requiring much pa tience and research to collect; and I can only give such results as I could manage to work out during the scanty intervals and with the limited facilities available amidst the duties of a parish like this. At all events, I can commend the work to others' pur suit. Very possibly, others may complete the task.
