Summary

Sketches of English scenes. Bayham Abbey, Sussex stands on the Kent and Sussex borders, this Premonstratensian monastery was founded by Robert Thornham at the turn of the 12th century, and was one of only two houses in England coming directly under the dependency of Premontre (the mother-house in France). Constructed from the golden-coloured local sandstone, Bayham Abbey displays a richness of decoration that was unusual in Premonstratensian churches.
