This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 Excerpt: ...the world. It is not only the widest stone span in the world, but the widest that is ever likely to be made, as now iron is so much more serviceable in bridging great openings. Staines is not an interesting town, and the church is a modern brick building, though the tower is said to be by Inigo Jones. Near the church is a venerable mansion of the early Elizabethan style, though popular tradition dates it back to a much earlier period.

Beighton, who died at an advanced age, and is honoured with having an epitaph by Garrick, which Dr. Johnson has called the finest in the English language. There is also a painted bust of Thomas Foster, a Justice in the Stuart period of English history; and there is near this a curious one to Richard Kellefet, who seems to have stood high in favour with Elizabeth, and is described as a "most faithful servant to hir majestie, chief groome in her removing Garderobe of beddes, and yeoman also of her standing garderobe of Richmount."
