Extract

The paper which we have to lay before the Society marks a stage in, we will not say the end of, a long story. The exploration of the site of St. Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, has now been proceeding for over twenty-five years, and writing in 1901 on a group of early churches connected with St. Augustine's mission, one of us expressed the hope that his own church of St. Peter and St. Paul, and that of St. Mary built to the east of it a few years later, might one day be added to the list of those of which actual remains have come down to us. This hope is now happily fulfilled, even more completely than we had reason to expect, and the occasion is one for congratulation to antiquaries generally, but particularly to the bursar of St. Augustine's College, our Fellow the Rev. R. U. Potts, who has superintended the work for the last thirteen years, and to whose devotion and unremitting energy its success is chiefly due.
