A.D. 



1660. The "West Tower" had already fallen: as it does not 

 appear in the Plate of the Abbey Church published 

 in " Dugdale's Monasticon " about this year. Aubrey 

 says that a portion of the central tower- pillars, 

 with the parts above them, was thrown down by the 

 noise of artillery at the Restoration of Charles II. 



It is very likely that in the Registers, or Charters, &c, 

 formerly belonging to the Monastery, there may be some allusion 

 to works carried on at the church. For the convenience therefore 

 of those who may have the opportunity of making further enquiry 

 into the subject, annexed is a List of 



Malmesbury Cartularies, Registers, &c, where existing.
