Amongst the vestiges of antiquity which abound in this country are the visible memorials of those nations which have succeeded one another in the occupancy of this island To the age of our Celtic ancestors the earliest possessors of its soil is ascribed the erection of those altars and temples of all but primeval antiquity the Cromlechs and Stone Circles which lie scattered over the land and these are conceived to have been derived from the Phœnicians whose merchants first introduced amongst the aboriginal Britons the arts of incipient civilization Of these most ancient relics the prototypes appear as described in Holy Writ in the pillar raised at Bethel by Jacob in the altars erected by the Patriarchs and in the circles of stone set up by Moses at the foot of Mount Sinai and by Joshua at Gilgal Many of these structures perhaps from their very rudeness have survived the vicissitudes of time whilst there scarce remains a vestige of the temples erected in this island by the Romans yet it is from Roman edifices that we derive and can trace by a gradual transition the progress of that peculiar kind of architecture called Gothic which presents in its later stages the most striking contrast that can be imagined to its original precursor

Towards the end o of the sixth centur y when Christianity was again propagated in this country by Augustine Mellitus and other zealous monks St Gregory the head of the Papal church and the originator of this mission wrote to Mellitus not to suffer the Heathen temples to be destroyed but only the idols found within them These and such churches built by the Romans as were then though in a dilapidated state existing may reasonably be supposed to have been the prototypes of the Christian churches afterwards erected in this country
