More about this scene

The remains of Hailes (sometimes spelt Hayles) Abbey lie a mile or two out of Winchcombe off the B4632 to Broadway. Consecrated in 1252 at ceremony with a distinguished guest list that included Henry III, his wife Queen Eleanor of Provence, 300 assorted nobles and knights and fourteen bishops, Hailes Abbey was one of Gloucestershire's grandest monastic foundations.
