More about this scene
Of the great Benedictine Abbey of St Mary in Abingdon little survives above ground. Once the sixth wealthiest of England's medieval monasteries, it was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538, and much of its stonework was carried by river to London. This view shows the gatehouse which led from the market place into the abbey precincts, with the church of St Nicholas on the left.
