Description: | The print comes from Francis Grose. [1784]. The Antiquities of England and Wales, volume 2, opposite p. 225 (plate 98). The text (p. 225-6) says: "This house is pleasantly situated near the western banks of the Tichfield river, on the spot where formerly stood an abbey of the Premonstratensian canons, built, anno 1231, by Peter de Rupibus, or de la Roche, bishop of Winchester, who obtained this manor of King Henry IIIĀ
. Great part of this mansion has either fallen, or been taken down; but the entrance, or gateway, with the hall, and several other rooms, are still standing, and at times inhabited by the owners: there likewise remain some very handsome stables."
The abbey was converted by Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, into a mansion (Place House) very soon after the Dissolution, the work being finished by 1542. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | Premonstratensian building Earl of Southampton Titchfield Abbey house Peter de Roches Titchfield House Thomas Place House Wriothesley Bishop of Winchester Titchfield abbey | Temporal: | start=1761-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Godfrey; S Hooper; Francis Grose | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
