Reading Abbey is one of the great forgotten elements of English history. If it hadn’t been for Henry 8th Reading would have become a major, possibly world famous, Cathedral city. The Abbey was one of the largest in Europe. Well worth a little investigate and a trip both to the ruins and to Reading Museum.
I have complied a number of photos and notes over the years. Please enjoy.
There are photos from before and during the Millenium renovations, some historical information and reference to ongoing prayer in Reading.
