Stanbrook Abbey series alert:photos of the empty Abbey

Will try to get to the next stage tonight. In the meantime do check this link to 'Amazing Retreats' who bought Stanbrook Abbey. Do not let the word 'Retreats' raise your hopes too much. Do have a look at the gallery of about 70 photographs (internal and external) for a poignant, and to me very upsetting, impression of what the nuns have left behind. They are valuable photographs. I think they were taken before the 'refurbishment' began. Click on each small image to enlarge. tMy heart lurched and I was brought to tears by many of these images, particularly of the deserted choir stalls, the Abbey's two cemeteries and the library shelves now stripped of their precious volumes.

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
