The Abbey, Storrington, Victorian Gothic religious building in Storrington, England
The Abbey features high-quality linenfold paneling, stained glass windows, and an elaborate oak staircase with turned balusters and ball finials throughout its interior.
Built in 1871-72 by Rev. George Faithfull, the structure incorporates materials from a previous 1621 rectory that stood at the same location.
The building transformed from a rectory to a country house, then to a Dominican convent and boarding school that operated until 1999.
Located on Church Street, the building contains multiple rooms including a chapel, meeting room, and spaces adorned with architectural elements from different periods.
Colonel H. V. Ravenscroft added a billiard room and ballroom in 1930, designed by architect John Leopold Denman, enhancing the building's social function.
