"Douai Abbey is home to a community of monks of the English Benedictine Congregation. The monastery is under the patronage of St Edmund, King & Martyr, and was founded in Paris in 1615. Uprooted by the French Revolution it settled at Douai in Flanders, and finally returned to England in 1903, settling at Woolhampton in Berkshire." from the Abbey website. http://www.douaiabbey.org.uk The gridline here goes pretty much through the gateposts so most of the building is in SU5768
