WAVERLEY-ABBEY, (Surrey) near the r. Wey, on the S. E. side of Farnham, was the first Cistertian mon. in England; of which
part of ths Ch. cloysters, kitchin, painted windows, &c. were very lately, if they are not still, remaining. It is situate
in a good air, but in a place very low and romantic. A fine rivulet runs under it, and fences one side, but all the rest
is walled; and by the lane are stately rocks of sand. There are 60 acres within the abbey-walls, which are chiefly of ragg
stones, and 10 foot high. Here was a handsome chapel, larger than that of Trinity-Coll. Oxford, since converted to a
stable. The late J. Aislabie, Esq; chancellor of the exchequer, resided here, as has since Mr. Child.
