EDITOR OF PEVSNER GUIDES INSPECTS THE ABBEY
Thrill and gratitude were in good measure at St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth when the editor of the world famous Pevsner Architectural Guides personally visited the Abbey inbetween Lockdowns last year to investigate and update the location's listing. We are very much looking foward to seeing this new edition of Pevsner.
Speaking of his visit and the highlights he noted, editor Charles O'Brien said:
"This is the first full revision and expansion of the 'Pevsner' for Surrey since its original publication in 1962, with the opportunity to revisit all of the buildings previously described and add many more. Few would disagree with the 1960s description of St Augustine's Abbey as 'soberly and honestly detailed' but the new edition will now have space to include the excellent fittings of the church's interior."
