| A VIEW OF TITCHFIELD ABBEY |
Titchfield Abbey was closed in 1537 by Henry V111 of England during the dissolution of the monasteries.
With stone hard to come by in Hampshire, the Abbey was built using stone brought in from Dorset, the Isle of Wight and even Caen in France. It was built for Premonstratensian Canons an austere order of priests.

Makes one wonder about the passion involved building it. But also of the difficulties.
