ABBEY MONKS HIDING PLACE


An interesting archaeological dis
covery has just been made at Thorney,
in the islel of Ely. A hermitage was
founded there by the Saxons In 665.
and 1t became an important monastic
establishment. A second abbey was
built there by Bishop Ethelwood. says
the Pail Mall Gazette. OF winchester,
In the ninth century, and this was re-
placed by more imposing building at
the end of the eleventh century.
The Thorney abbey of the present
day, used as the parish church, con-
sists of the west front and nave Of
this third building, and In the course
of the last few days the discovery has
been. made Of q subterranean passage
leading from the abbey church down
to the river. 1t Is 500 feet In length,
1t was probably used by the monks to
obtain their supplies Of water and flsh,
and. 1t 10 thought, formed safe hiding
place for the brotherhood during the
Danish invasion, for they escaped the
slaughter which overlook their neigh
bors at Crowland and Peterborough.
