EDITORS COMMENTS
Bayham Abbey, a Premonstratensian monastery nestled on the picturesque Kent and Sussex borders, was founded by Robert Thornham around the turn of the 12th century. This photograph print, taken circa 1830, transports us back in time to an era of religious devotion and historical significance. The image features a group of tourists, dressed in fashionable attire typical of the 1830s, as they admire the ancient abbey's architectural beauty. The men don top hats and frock coats, while the women wear elegant dresses and bonnets. The serene atmosphere of the monastery's grounds is further enhanced by the lush greenery and the gentle flow of the River Beult in the background. Bayham Abbey, with its striking Gothic architecture, was an important pilgrimage site during the Middle Ages. The monastery's foundation story is closely linked to Robert Thornham, who, according to legend, was granted a vision of the Virgin Mary, instructing him to build a monastery on the site. Thornham, a wealthy landowner, heeded the call and founded the monastery, inviting the Premonstratensian order to establish a community there. The abbey's rich history has continued to draw visitors throughout the centuries. In the 1820s and 1830s, the Romantic era brought renewed interest in historical sites, and Bayham Abbey became a popular destination for sightseers. Today, the abbey remains a cherished piece of England's heritage, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to connect with the past and marvel at the enduring beauty of this remarkable place.
