	Romsey Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Romsey Abbey, is to be found in Romsey, a market town in the county of Hampshire, England, and was originally built during the 10th century, as a Benedictine foundation.
		The surviving church is the town's outstanding feature and this is all the more remarkable because the abbey, as a nunnery, would have been less well financially endowed than other religious establishments of the time.
		This so affected the area that the overall prosperity of the abbey dwindled and it was finally suppressed by Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539.
