Missenden Abbey - Lesson 3

This is the venue for my Photography Course, nice little pile, strictly speaking it's not the venue as our classroom is at the back of the building in a new block but we do get wander round the grounds to take photographs! 

A very potted history of the house from Wikipedia 
"Missenden Abbey (also referred to as Great Missenden Abbey) was a former Arrouasian (Augustinian) monastery, founded in 1133 in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. The abbey was dissolved in 1538, and the abbey church demolished. In 1574 a house, also known as Missenden Abbey, was constructed on the site of the monastic cloisters, incorporating some of the monastic remains. The house was altered several times, gaining its current "Regency Gothic" style at the beginning of the 19th-century. The house was "gutted" by fire in 1985 and subsequently rebuilt"
