Topic: Anglesey Abbey


  
 Anglesey Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anglesey Abbey is a country house, formerly a priory, in the village of Lode, 5 ½ miles (8.8 km) northeast of Cambridge, England.
The house and its grounds are owned by the National Trust and are open to the paying public as part of the Anglesey Abbey, Garden and Lode Mill property, although some parts remain the private home of the Fairhaven family.
On his death, Huttleston left the abbey to the National Trust so that the house and gardens could "represent an age and way of life that was quickly passing".

 News-sheet 165 Sep/Oct 2003
Anglesey Abbey has a graceful, ordered, Jacobean-styled exterior with peaceful gravel walks and flawlessly trimmed lawns – a haven from the bustle and confusion of King’s Cross.
The Abbey is believed to have been founded by Henry I in 1135 as the hospital of St. Mary, becoming an Augustinian priory in the early thirteenth century.
Monastic life in Anglesey Abbey ended abruptly in 1536 (during the reign of Henry VIII) and the property passed through the hands of several owners until Huttleston Broughton, 1st Lord Fairhaven and his brother, Henry, bought the property in 1926.
