RELICS OF ANCIENT DAYS
In tho spacious days of Queen Elizabeth, somebody gave to King’s College, Cambridge, two strips of land at Ruislip in Middlesex. The college is now giving back to modern Ruislip, the Manor House and another house, which were built thereon. The Manor House bears marks of the Elizabethan builder, but it rose on the foundations of an ancient Priory, which the Abbots of Bee raised there before King John reigned. The othei house became in time the post office when Ruislip was still a mere country village.
