More about this scene
The Abbey was originally a Cistercian community established in 1145. Reverting to the Crown after the Dissolution, the land was largely dormant until King Edward VI granted it to the Russell family in 1574. The house was largely rebuilt in the 18th century; there have been several additions made since, including much of the infill on the elevation shown here.

A Selection of Memories from Woburn Abbey
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Woburn Abbey
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I recall visiting Woburn in the 1970s and towards the end of the public tour there was a series of box dioramas showing military'scenes. I think these were mostly Napoleonic.
Does anyone know who modelled these, and does anyone know what happened to them?
Regards
Raymond
