and the first monument noticed was one
erected to Sir Robert Peel, the great ora

After the Dean and his choir boys had
disappeared commenced my walk again,
and saw many fine old monumental. One
Of these was in memory of Sir Isaac New

who he was. Prominent among the
monuments in this part of the Abbey is
