Abingdon, Abbey Gardens, Trendell's Ruins c.1945

More about this scene
Edwin James Trendell, who had presented the Queen Victoria statue to the town to commemorate her 1887 Golden Jubilee, lived in Abbey House, and laid out its grounds, Abbey Gardens, in the 1880s. In it he erected an architectural folly that many assume to be part of the old abbey: it is decidedly not. His two-bay roofless 'chapel' is in fact a picturesque garden feature, and these views show its west front. The stone was salvaged from local church restoration and other sources. Trendell's Queen Victoria statue was originally in the Market Place, and was moved here in 1946.
