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.
