More about this scene
This is all that remains of the magnificent west front of the Abbey, now reduced in height and stripped of its facing stone. The outline of the three main entrance arches marks the centre of the building. The front would have been twice as high with turrets on the end towers, and with a massive central tower and spire, probably three times the height of the Norman Tower. Beyond the ruins are open countryside and woodland. Since 1979 the town has expanded over the area of Moreton Hall, stretching towards Great Barton and Rougham.
