Reading Abbey is a historical book written by Jamieson Boyd Hurry and published in 1901. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history and architecture of Reading Abbey, a former royal monastery located in the town of Reading, England. The book covers the founding of the abbey by King Henry I in the 12th century, its expansion and renovation over the centuries, and its eventual dissolution during the English Reformation in the 16th century. The author also delves into the religious and cultural significance of the abbey, its role in the lives of the people of Reading, and the impact of its dissolution on the local community. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, and maps that bring the abbey's history and architecture to life. Reading Abbey is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of England, monasticism, and medieval architecture. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and provides a deeper understanding of the cultural and religious heritage of Reading and the surrounding region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
