Really nicely carved statues from the ruined abbey of Saint Mary's.
|
The ruins of St. Mary's Abbey. Once the richest abbey in England. It was destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII.
|
This benedictine abbey was built in the early 12th century. |
The Hospitalum (guest house) for the abbey survives. You can rent it for weddings or Barbeques. (The sign on the door says so.) |
Me, on tip toe, trying to see into the Hospitalum |
Maggie and I, very tired and very hungry, outside the pub we ate at tonight. |
