Grange Court Leominster

07 May 2023 33 19 233
Grange Court, built in 1633, is the last surviving market house known to be built by John Abel, a local master carpenter. Today it is a Community, Heritage and Enterprise Hub, owned by the people of Leominster through the LARC Development Trust. It is a place for people to meet, work, learn and enjoy! We found this place to be an excellent community centre. There were lovely displays of needlework showing the history of the UK, as well as artwork by schoolchildren. A yoga class was stretching in one room, and the cafe was run by two volunteers - a lovely lunch outside in the garden. A really nice place to visit. The second PiP is for Nick who is always searching for mermaids.

The Lady Chapel of Glastonbury Abbey is one of the finest late 12th-century monuments in Britain. It was built immediately after the disastrous fire which consumed much of the abbey in 1184, and was completed by 1186 or 1187.

Glastonbury Abbey was a monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Its ruins, a grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument, are open as a visitor attraction. The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th. It was destroyed by a major fire in 1184, but subsequently rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England. The abbey was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England. The last abbot, Richard Whiting (Whyting), was hanged, drawn and quartered as a traitor on Glastonbury Tor in 1539.
