Mottisfont Abbey... by quietpurplehaze

Mottisfont Abbey...

... now a National Trust property, was a 12th century Augustinian Abbey. It sits just alongside the River Test which has currently claimed a few fields in the area, also partially flooded the car park plus the cellar in this house.
Another beautiful day this morning so we've decided on a trip to Bournemouth to be beside the seaside for a few hours.
Beautiful and what a lovely day it was. Spring I think is really here.

I was brought up by the river Test - and I think this is my favourite NT property in the country.
Great pics :)

It looks gigantic. How many monks did it house?

Lovely historical capture, what a shame about the flooding

Beautiful capture - Love the architecture, pov and sky. I am not as sure about the post on the left myself (I found my eye is drawn to that before the other details, which are much prettier.)

A beautiful capture, what a huge and gorgeous building. Have a wonderful day at the seaside.

@linah

I think I shared your reservations because I tried to crop out the signpost. But that meant cutting off a part of the abbey.

@quietpurplehaze It is still beautiful!
February 23rd, 2014  
Lovely shot and wonderful sky and building

New one on me, looks fabulous - another for the bucket list. of course I would have gotten rid of the fence whilst processing but then that is just me and PS. Nice shot, hazel.

@gooner46

Thanks. Well of course I could have easily taken the shot without the signpost! You should go to Mottisfont, Chris and see the Lichfield portrait exhibition - on until April 21st.
