The Abbey, Charlton Adam, Grade I listed country house in Charlton Adam, England
The Abbey features rough blue lias stone and ham stone construction, with clay tile roofs and multiple octagonal ashlar chimneystacks across the structure.
Built on the site of a 1237 Chantry Chapel of the Holy Spirit, the current building dates from the late 16th century with modifications through subsequent centuries.
The interior displays pre-Reformation elements alongside Elizabethan wood paneling, beamed ceilings, and fireplaces with detailed architectural characteristics from different periods.
The building spans two stories with an additional three-story block, incorporating multiple rooms including a drawing room with an oak overmantel fireplace.
Despite its name and location on former chapel grounds, this structure never functioned as an actual abbey but received this designation by 1849.
