Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Alban's Cathedral and Abbey Church: A Guide It is several years since a New Edition of the Guide to the Abbey Church compiled by the late Dr. Nicholson has been issued. In the meantime very extensive alterations have taken place in the building, and much of the Guide has consequently become obsolete. Under these circumstances it has been thought desirable to re-write those portions of the work which comprised the guide to the architectural features of the Abbey, and this task I have entrusted to Mr. William Page, F.S.A. Mr. Page has now with great care accomplished this; the historical extracts compiled by Dr. Nicholson being, with few unimportant corrections, just as Dr. Nicholson left them. It must not be forgotten that there still remains in the Abbey Church an immense store of historical, archaeological and architectural information, which is of the utmost value to the student, and of great interest to the intelligent visitor, whom this Guide is specially designed to assist. The thorough structural repair which the building has undergone (chiefly, as is well known, at the cost of Lord Grimthorpe), will, it is to be hoped, preserve the Abbey Church, now the ecclesiastical centre of the Diocese of St. Albans, for centuries to come.
