CHEBTSEY. a par. and market town in the second div. of the hnnd. of Godley, in the co. of Surrey, 21 miles by the South- Western railway from London. It is situated on the banks of the Thames, and was a place of considerable importance in the early Saxon times, being a seat of the South Saxon kings. It is called by Bede Osrtan, or Onti nmb, which would by the Thames, and must since hare undergone a considerable geological change, as at present it has no appearance of having been an island. Much of its importance was derived from a Benedictine abbey, which was founded in 666 bv Frithwold, governor of Surrey, under Wulphere, King of Meroa, whose CTJghul grant is still in existence, and curiously illustrates the intellectual condition of the J"g*""* nobility of that time "I Frithwold, who am the giver, together with the Abbot Erkenwald, on ac- count of my ignorance of letters, have expressed my consent with the sign of the cross." The abbey was dedicated to St. Peter, but was pillaged and burnt by the Danes. Some ruins of the abbey, refconded by King Edgar about 964, on the site of the former one, stiU issnis. being part of a wall which forms the bowodary of an orchard.
