_Abbey of St. Wandrille_.--Will "GASTROS" kindly allow me to ask him
a question? Does the _Chronicle of the Abbey of St. Wandrille_, which
he mentions (No. 21. p. 338.), include notices of any of the branches
of that establishment which settled in England about the time of the
Conquest; and one of which, the subject of my query, formed a colony
at Ecclesfield, near Sheffield?
I feel an interest in this little colony, because my early
predecessors in this vicarage were elected from its monks. Moreover,
some remains of their convent, now incorporated into what is called
"the hall," and forming an abutment which overlooks my garden, are
affording an appropriate domicile to the curate of the parish.
