About this book
The title page gives the book as The Children of Westminster Abbey, Studies in English History, by Rose G. Kingsley. The dedication is to the nephews Ranulph and Francis Kingsley. The contents list chapters titled, among others, The Building of the Abbey, The Conquest of Wales and John of Eltham, the Young Knight.
The text says the Collegiate Church of St. Peter was consecrated on the twenty-eighth of December, in the year of grace 1065. The text says Edward the Confessor, the last Saxon king, lavished time and money and pious thought on the grandest building England had yet seen. The text says a monument carries the words "Dormit, non mortua est," meaning she is not dead but sleeping, and that it is dedicated by her afflicted sister Anne to the sacred and happy memory of Elizabeth Russell.
