Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 15 Mar 2020
Occupying a prominent location at the junction of the B1033 High Street with the B1414 Landermere Road, The Abbey is a Grade II* Listed Building, the earliest parts of which date from the mid 16th Century. The Historic England website states that the house was first recorded in 1567 as Borowes, then as Gadlers in 1612, Brickhouse in 1690, Cage Farm in 1779, and finally The Abbey in 1795. There is however no mention on that website of any monastic or ecclesiastical connection.
