 Interesting to see how the visitors are corralled away from the ruins. For safety or for conservation, or perhaps both? |

View looking north. Beautifully set in a valley landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown in the 18th Century. Roche Abbey has one of the most complete ground plans of any English Cistercian monastery, laid out as excavated foundations. Why is the location so popular on this day? There must be something on. |

The 29th May 1926 was a Saturday. Easter that year was 4th April so this being the 7th weekend after that makes it the Whitsun weekend. |
