Abbey . By Mr . G . B . Corner , F . S . A . This paper was of much local interest , inasmuch as it described most minutely the boundary line between the parishes of Chertsey and Thorpe at that remote period , The company then proceeded to visit Cowley House , a quaint specimen of the domestic architecture of the seventeenth century , interesting as having been the residence of Abraham Cowley , the poet , who died here in 1667 . The ancient tenement has been carefully preserved by its present owner , the Bev . J . Crosby
Clark , to whose kindness the society were indebted for this opportunity of inspecting it , as well as the grounds attached to the house , and in which remains " Cowley ' s Arbour . " The members next visited the site of the abbey , where excavations have for some time been in progress , under the direction of the officers of the society . The foundations of the walls have been partially traced , and several stone coffins discovered , besides quantities of tiles , some stained glass , and other fragments of this once magnificent abbey . At five o ' clock , a collation or dinner was served at the Crown Inn , adjoining the Town Hall . Upwards of a hundred ladies and gentlemen did justice to the good fare provided . Col . Challoner presided ; and on the removal of the cloth proceeded to give a series of toasts , which were duly honoured by the company .
