Upper part of the western ediface of Farnborough Abbey

Upper part of the western ediface of Farnborough Abbey
A French styled Benedictine Abbey designed by a French architect.
Napolean lll rests inside, in a crypt paid for by Queen Victoria.

I would have preferred to have stood further back so as to include more of the gargoylantuan building, but that would entail chopping down a few oak trees.

Explored!

Thanks a lot, Gudrun. I hope to return to the site one day with a wider lens but they have very restricted opening hours. Also timing is critical if the sun is out, because of the shadows.

Many thanks for your visit, George. I don't believe it was a word this time last week and to me it is a collection of letters which saved me writing a long sentence ;-)

Many thanks, Keith. For me is was very impressive and very unexpected as it is so different to anything else in this corner of Hampshire. It lives a peaceful existence and I bet half the residents of Farnborough are not aware of the abbey.
