As I said yesterday I went with Christine to Buckland Abbey - the ho,e of Sir Francis Drake, and originally a monestary.

The great barn from the monestary - This Christmas they had a "river of light"









The great hall is part of Sir Francis Drake's building -













In the dining room there is a painting that has recenetly been shown to be a self portrait by Reubens









The modern (19th century) chapel





They had made a hanging that showed the life of a monestary through the year - stunning

Beautiful - I love the little figures!

The whole string apparently took a year to make - I don't know if they are going to leave it up all year, as it shows Medieval monasteries throughout the year
