Exhibition: Abingdon's Historic Buildings - Lost, Recorded and Understood

Heritage Open Day: Visit our exhibition to rediscover some of our town’s lost buildings (from mansions to the workhouse), view pictures of the town taken during the second world war, and find out how to be a house detective Every town has lost important buildings over the centuries and Abingdon is no exception. Some, like the Abbey, were lost through religious turmoil, others like Fitzharrys Manor were demolished for much needed post war housing. We feature some of the lost structures and in the same exhibition we will also look at the photographic record made during the second World War of the historic and cultural monuments of Abingdon, most of which still stand. And if you have ever had a thirst to understand architectural fashions and designs, we help you “read a building.
