Restoring key parts of the Abbey has definitely been a labour of love and spanned almost 30 years. One space that holds a special place in our hearts is the Library, originally the refectory of the monastery.

Striving to preserve as much as possible of its original character, we have uncovered some very intriguing facts in the process.

Join Sarah as she shares the fascinating discoveries we’ve made over the years. 📚
