Recollections of A.N. Welby Pugin, and His Father, Augustus Pugin

Excerpt from The Antiquities of the Priory of Christ-Church, Hampshire: Consisting of Plans, Sections, Elevations, Details, and Perspective Views, of the Present Church The origin and early history of the Priory of christ-church are unknown; and although we may reasonably presume that it was founded in the seventh century, soon after the introduction of the order of St. Augustine into this kingdom, yet there are no records of the Saxon times extant relating to this establishment. The earliest documentary evidence concerning it is contained in the Domesday Book, from which the following are extracts, the contractions being supplied.
