Excerpt from The Monastery and Cathedral of Worcester
Very few of our old religions foundations have bequeathed to posterity a greater store of docu mentary evidence than that of Worcester, and it is somewhat extraordinary that between three and four centuries were allowed to elapse without this mass of records. Having been turned to better account. True, that in the pages of Thomas, Nash, and others, a very fair sample of the original documents and records now reposing in the muniment rooms have been published, and their permanency thus rendered comparatively safe; yet these are sealed books to all but a very limited circle of learned readers, while no attempt has been made to weave[izfroa'uctiwl.

Excerpt from The Monastery and Cathedral of Worcester
"There be some who slight and despise this sort of learning, and represent it to be a dry, barren, monkish study; but I dare assure any wise and sober man that historical antiquities do deserve and will reward the pains of any English student. I wish the excellent parts of many other writers were not spent upon more frivolous arguments, where by subtleties, and cavils, and controverting quibbles, they serve only to weaken Christianity, and (what otherwise were pardonable) to expose one another." - Bishop Kennett.
Cloistered seclusion has been the fruitful theme of many a fervent orator, and of pens dipped in gall. Be it mine rather to open the new and deeply interesting page of monastic life in Worcester with veneration, love, and above all things with a desire for truth.
