Overview

Excerpt from Annals of St. Mary Overy: An Historical and Descriptive Account of St. Saviour's Church and Parish; With Numerous Illustrations The first idea of the following work originated in a desire to perpetuate, by graphic illustration, the remembrance of some of the interesting remains of antiquity in Southwark, ere the encroachments of time, and modern improvements, had swept them away for ever this pursuit naturally led to another no less interesting, - the collection of an historical ao count of them for though much had been done in this department, much unexplored ground remained to invite to industrious research, in the unpublished records, and interesting facts which yet lay scattered abroad. The perfecting of History is usually a work of time, and seldom accomplished by individual labour, but rather by the exertions of successive writers, each adding his share to the stock of information so in the present instance, I have laboured to supply the omissions of former works, and doubtless much yet remains behind to give interest to future accounts.
