The History of Belmont Abbey

 Thanks to Geoff Garvey for the use of his copy of The History of Belmont Abbey,  written by Dom Basil Whelan in 1956, to celebrate the Centenery in 1959. The scanned pages are in chapter files that can be downloaded, or you can  cut and paste the text into a Word Processor for printing.  The Frontpage spellchecker is not too good at Latin I'm afraid, but then nor were many of us!

CASTLE HILL BOOKS They sometimes have copies of 'The History of Belmont Abbey' for sale.
