EDITORS COMMENTS
Bayham Abbey, a Premonstratensian monastery nestled on the Kent and Sussex borders, was founded by Robert Thornham around the turn of the 12th century. This photograph print, taken circa 1830, offers a glimpse into the past as tourists and sightseers of the 1820s and 1830s explore the historic abbey grounds. The monk in period costume, depicted in the foreground, adds an authentic touch to the scene, transporting us back in time. Bayham Abbey, with its rich history and architectural beauty, has long been a popular destination for those seeking to learn about England's past. The abbey, which was founded in the 12th century, was once home to a community of Canons Regular of the Premonstratensian Order. The monks lived a contemplative life, dedicating themselves to prayer, study, and manual labor. The abbey's stunning architecture, which includes a fine example of a 13th-century Gothic church, has survived the test of time and continues to draw visitors from around the world. The ruins of the abbey, which are now in the care of English Heritage, offer a fascinating glimpse into the past and provide a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of England. This photograph print, with its intriguing scene and historical significance, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in English history, architecture, or the 1800s. Whether displayed in a home or office, it is sure to spark conversation and inspire a deeper appreciation for the past.
