The Abbey, Sutton Courtenay
The Abbey, Sutton Courtenay, Medieval manor house in Sutton Courtenay, England.
The stone building features four ranges around an inner courtyard, with a great hall displaying exceptional medieval timber craftsmanship and clay tile roofing.
Originally constructed in the thirteenth century as a rectory for Abingdon Abbey, the property remained under St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle from 1495 to 1867.
The medieval manor house transformed into a spiritual retreat center in 1980 under The New Era Centre, offering spaces for personal development programs.
The main hall accommodates sixty seated guests, while twenty-eight rooms spread across multiple wings provide extensive space for conferences and gatherings.
The 14th Dalai Lama delivered messages about compassion at this location during his first journey to Western countries in 1973.
