Extract

Yesterday, I made a most agreeable journey, though it may be called a pilgrimage, to visit the venerable remains of Lesnes Abby, at Earith in Kent, founded by Richard de Lucie, lord chancellor, and chief justice to Henry II. He was a near relation to your Lordship's neighbour, Lady Roisia of Roiston. It was impossible that I should not think of giving your Lordship the subsequent account of my observations there, for an amusement during your retirement from business and cares of state.
