Reading Abbey Quarter Tour & Cream Tea

Reading Abbey Quarter Tour & Cream Tea Fri 23 May 25
2 - 4pm

£10 Organisers - The Centre for Heritage and Family History, 2nd Floor, Reading Central Library, Abbey Square, Reading RG1 3BQ In medieval times, Reading was the site of a great royal abbey – a religious community centred round a magnificent church – one of the largest monasteries in Europe. It was formed in 1121 by Henry I and closed in 1539 on the orders of Henry VIII. Our walk will explore the rich history of the Abbey Quarter with abbey guide and expert John Painter. It will be around 90 minutes in length, and generally on flat ground. We finish with a cream tea in the Centre for Heritage & Family History, itself built on the site of the former Abbey stables. Numbers are limited, so pre-booking is required. Bookings close three days beforehand.
