Tales from Westminster Abbey Told to Children
by Mrs. Frewen Lord, Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
About the author
Project Gutenberg lists Mrs. Frewen Lord under the name Millicent Frewen Lord, which helps identify the author behind the byline. She is associated there with Tales from Westminster Abbey Told to Children, and book catalogs and library listings also connect her with works such as Tales from Canterbury Cathedral and Tales from St. Paul's Cathedral.
Her books suggest a clear specialty: introducing young readers to the stories, monuments, and famous figures connected with major English churches and national landmarks. Rather than writing academic history, she appears to have focused on making these places readable and memorable for children.
Confirmed biographical detail is limited in the sources found during this search, so it is safest to describe her as a children’s historical writer known through these cathedral and abbey retellings rather than to add unverified personal information.
