Francis Grose (1731–1791) was an antiquary and lexicographer, of Swiss extraction. He published Antiquities of England and Wales (1773–87), which was well received, and thereafter, in 1789, set out on an antiquarian tour through Scotland, the fruit of which was Antiquity of Scotland (1789–91). He afterwards undertook a similar expedition to Ireland, but died suddenly at Dublin. TYPE: Antique copper plate engraving printed on paper.

AUTHENTICITY: This is an authentic antique print, published at the date stated above. I do not offer reproductions. It is not a modern copy. The term 'original' when applied to a print means that it was printed at the first or original date of publication; it does not imply that the item is unique.

POSTAGE / SHIPPING COSTS: I only charge postage for the first print ordered. There is no additional postage charge if you order more than one print. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The abbey was founded around AD 598 as part of St Augustine’s mission. Its original function was to house the monks who came with Augustine and to provide a burial place for the kings of Kent and the Archbishops of Canterbury, which today are the earliest named graves in the country. Little evidence remains of the Saxon monastic buildings, but there were three churches built in a line from west to east, St Peter and St Paul, St. Mary and St Pancras Chapel. At the far east of the site the 14th century west window of St Pancras’ chapel still stands together with Anglo Saxon remains, identified by the use of recovered roman brick and the stub of a chancel screen column.
