Romsey Abbey

Romsey Abbey, in Hampshire, England, was originally built during the 10th century, and was a Benedictine foundation. It is located in the market town of Romsey, and the surviving church is the town's outstanding feature. This is all the more remarkable because the abbey was a nunnery, and nuns' churches tended not to be as grand as those of monasteries because their houses were less generously endowed.
