It is now nearly a thousand years since the parish of St. Pancras was founded, and yet during the whole of that lengthened period no complete history of the parish has been published. Many have attempted it, but the antiquity of the parish, its vast extent, and the immense mass of material that can be collected or ought to be collected relating to it, have at first dispirited, then exhausted the patience, and ultimately led to the relinquishing of their object.
