Extract

The annexed plate, copied from Dr. Stukeley, represents the boundary cross of Croyland Abbey. It is a very curious monument, and perhaps a singular instance of any such remaining for eight hundred and twenty-five years in the same state and situation; the record of its being so placed continuing and existing at the same time.
