Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on St. Mary's Church, Shrewsbury The "Notes on S. Mary's Church" contained in this little volume were written by Archdeacon Lloyd for S. Mary's Parish Magazine at various times between the years 1874 and 1886. From the last paragraph in the last note, it appears that the Archdeacon had intended in some leisure hour to collect these notes into one volume, and shorten, correct, and polish them. The leisure hour never came, and I venture to publish the Notes now, because, having appeared only in the Parish Magazine, and sometimes with a lapse of some months between each note, they not only run some risk of being lost, but are not in a very convenient form for reading or reference. I have not presumed to alter, excise, or add to them in any way, for I think that most of my father's old parishioners would prefer to read them in their original form in spite of the repetitions which occasionally occur. I hope that someone possessing the necessary architectural knowledge, and the pen of a ready writer, may carry on the Notes on S. Mary's Church up to the present day. As an Appendix to these Notes, I have added a Lecture on the Architectural History of S. Mary's Church written by Archdeacon Lloyd for the Shropshire Archaeological Society, and the Notes and Lecture comprise all (so far as I can ascertain) that he ever wrote on the subject, with the exception of a short address which he delivered as Chairman of the Archaeological Society in November, 1891, in which he compares the claims of the Churches of Shrewsbury as regards antiquity. This address can be found in the Transactions of the Society, 2nd series, vol. iv. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
