Foundation of Westminster Abbey

There is a singular feature in the early
mason work Of Westminster Abbey, as when
removing or repairing any OF the more ancient
stonework of the abbey it is always found
that the large. stones are set or levelled with
oyster shells. ' The shells are very Nat and
thick, measuring four and a half inches
in diameter, and retaine the small shell incrus-

abbey's foundation points to its association
with fishermen, the oyster shells were prob
