Coombe Abbey, Grade I listed English country house in Combe Fields, England
Description
Coombe Abbey is a Grade I listed country house in Combe Fields, England, combining medieval monastery remains with later aristocratic additions. The facade shows mullioned windows and elaborate stonework reflecting different building periods.
History
Cistercian monks founded an abbey here in 1150, which was dissolved under Henry VIII in 1539 and converted into a manor house. Later owners expanded the property and commissioned Lancelot Brown to redesign the grounds in the 18th century.
Culture
The name comes from the former Cistercian abbey that stood here until the Crown dissolved it. Today the historic rooms host weddings and events, while walkers explore the parkland.
Practical
The estate now functions as a hotel with publicly accessible gardens suitable for walking. Visitors can explore the outdoor grounds freely, while interior spaces remain reserved for hotel guests.
Did you know?
An artificial lake about one kilometer long runs through the grounds, created during Brown's redesign. The water reflects the facade and forms a focal point for visitors walking along the shore.
