Wareham Priory (revisited)

Part of the garden; at rear are the Hotel and the tower of Wareham's church of Lady St Mary. This part of the Priory's four acre garden faces the river Frome.

There were sackings of earlier priories on this site on at least four occasions, twice by the Danes; today's buildings incorporate a great deal of material salvaged from their ruined predecessors.

The last King of the West Saxons, Beothric, who died in about 800AD, lies buried either in this priory or in Lady St Mary's church.
