Wytham Abbey And Attached Wall, Grade I listed manor house in Wytham, England

The walls and gate piers connect to the main structure of Wytham Abbey, forming an integrated architectural complex near the River Thames.

Dating from 1480, Wytham Abbey belonged to the Abbots of Abingdon until the Dissolution of Monasteries, when Sir Richard Harcourt acquired the estate.

The structure underwent Georgian Gothic remodeling in 1809 by Thomas Cundy, transforming the estate into the principal residence of the Earls of Abingdon.

Located three miles northwest of Oxford center, the Abbey sits at the edge of Wytham Woods, a research area managed by the University of Oxford.

Queen Elizabeth I visited the Abbey as a princess, and Oliver Cromwell stayed during the second siege of Oxford in 1646.
