The Well-Watered Garden

You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Isaiah 58:11

St. Mary's Abbey

St. Mary's Abbey, a ruined Benedictine abbey, was built in 1055
and closed and destroyed in 1539, by order of Henry VIII.
We were surprised by the great size of the building.









Makes me want to read some of the Brother Cadfael books, again.
