Buckland Abbey

Buckland Abbey

Home of Sir Frances Drake

Yes this was an Old Abbey that became his Home

The stables are now Shops and Sculptures abound

The Abbey is very much a great hall now

Once use as a barn

But the roof is original and what a roof.

The house is made of what was former Abbey and church. And is now a home.

Beautiful Windows

With cravings in the wall

The rooms were large and well setup.

and what fireplaces, these would have been great in there hey days,

Of course we have a statue of Sir Frances

and Painting of the Queen that loved hm.

Jennifer of Course loved the Period Costumes

For me it is the Kitchens and Gardens

And what gardens they would have been

But it was the house that was the show place.
