Message From: "Chris & Caroline" <chris@chayles.freeserve.co.uk> Subject: [HantsLife] Romsey Abbey - website http://www.romseyabbey.org.uk/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Thankyou so much for this - just wonderful! It also probably answers a question I've been asking about my bods for ages re the link between Romsey & Eling (Was it boat building? No-one has been able to tell me). Seems the Abbey Vicar during the 1800s was the inventor of a fold-out lifeboat! I'm now very keen to investigate this further. Maureen, NZ
