1895 – Little Missenden Abbey, Buckinghamshire

Architect: W.H. Seth-Smith

0020

Little Missenden Abbey is a Tudor Revival mansion, Grade II listed since 1987, as a “country house on the site of a medieval Augustinian Abbey … founded in 1133”. The listing indicates that the abbey was modified into a mansion ca.1600, when it was owned by the Fleetwood family. Additional modifications were made when subsequent owners acquired the property in 1787 and in 1815. In the 21st century, the mansion was being used as a conference and training facility, and as a wedding venue, after an extensive renovation completed in 1988, necessitated by a fire that occurred in 1985.
