Entrance to Milton Abbey with election posters, 1997
The signs on the door to the left of the photo, originally "No Parking" and "Keep Clear", had been altered to read "No Labour" and "Keep Conservative". Much good it did them: the 1997 Labour landslide was under a week away.

Boys playing outside Milton Abbey School, 1967
View westward. You can't see them, but the boys were playing with owls. [Why does the map say 'remains' for the Abbey?]

Milton Abbey, Milton Abbas
Most of what is visible here is the work of William Chambers, 1771-74, for Lord Milton who swept away most of the previous monastic buildings (the C14th church, far right, was spared). The style is Gothic Revival. Grade I listed.
Milton Abbey School has been here for some years.
In a not untypical act of aristocratic hubris, the good Lord had the nearby village moved because of its proximity to his house. His obstreperous side was not reserved for the local peasants alone for Chambers fell out with him and resigned, the interiors being completed by James Wyatt.
