Fountain's Hall (interior)

Fountain's Hall has three rooms open to the public.

The top smaller picture shows a three hundred year old pear wood carving, bearing the motto:"Nec Cesso, Nec Erro" which means "I won't rest, I won't stray". Underneath it is a shot of the Minstrels Gallery which dates from the Hall being built in around 1600.

The figures dressed from the 1700's are in a room thought to have been the library, with oak panelling and furnishings appropriate to this period.

You can stay in one of the flats in the Hall or even get married in its Chapel!

Oh, I'm so enjoying your family visit to Fountan's Abbey/Hall Kathryn - wouldn't it be fun to get married in the chapel dressed in period costume... and no Ian, that's not a proposal to your beloved ;~}

[Lynne Hart]

A great collage, like the period costumes, looks like a wonderful wedding venue.

[Cathie]

Delightful. I love your historic shots, Katharine!

@vignouse Thanks Richard. I think your idea would be fun. I could see a couple involved with one of the history re-enactment societies might consider a wedding there. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@lhart Thanks. I think it would be very special to have a wedding there. Katharine

@cathieg Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy them. Katharine

@monkeykid Thanks. We do seem to have rather a lot of historical buildings, comes of needing them to be in stone to keep out the weather! Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@thresheg Thanks for the fav. Glad you liked the collage. I would have liked some minstrels in the gallery. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@dide Thanks. I think we have a lot of evidence of history with our many preserved buildings. Katharine

@tonydebont Thanks Tony. They were a good display. Better than the bare rooms of our last visit. Katharine

@bkbinthecity Thanks. I thought they had done a good job of fitting out the room. Katharine

@bobhuegel Thank you Bob. We are lucky to have a number of Abbey ruins to visit in this area. Those monks knew how to pick beautiful areas. Katharine
