Titchfield Abbey

After a walk from Titchfield to the Solent (see extra) and back, I crossed the A27 to view Titchfield Abbey.




"After the Suppression of the Monasteries, Henry VIII gave the abbey to Sir Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, who transformed the buildings into a grand Tudor mansion called Place House. The most impressive feature of the abbey today is a grand turreted gatehouse, which was built across the nave of the church."
