The Bulletin  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 73— No. 3785  

Wednesday, August 27, 1952  

Price 9d.

ROMSEY ABBEY, SAVED FROM THE WRECKER FOR £100  

ROMSEY, beside the River Test, eight miles from Southampton, is town  

of great antiquity which grew up around its Abbey Church, originally  

founded as Benedictine nunnery in the year 907 by King Edward the Elder.  

His eldest daughter, Ethelflasda, became abbess and was later buried mere.  

In Saxon days Romsey Abbey was notable educational establishment, ana  

the daughters of kings and nobles were sent there to be educated. One ot  

these was King John’s daughter, Johanna, who later became Queen ot  

Scotland. Her governess was paid 2d. day. ...  

In 1004 the Danes invaded Hampsnire and aestroyed the Abbey, but  

the occupants were able to escape to the safety of Winchester, from which  

they returned in due course, and the Abbey Church rose again on the  

foundations of the old and continued to flourish. Extensive rebuilding of the  

Abbey in the Norman style commenced about 1120 under the guidance of  

the Bishop of Winchester, and the present building dates mainly from that  

neriod. The magnificent Norman arches with elaborate moulding in the choir  

are reputed to be the best examples of this style of architecture in Europe.  

Beneath the flooring near the pulpit can still be seen portions of the original  

Saxon church which existed in the days of Edgar and Canute.  

At the time of its suppression, 1539, the Abbey buildings were valued at  

£528, and the people of Romsey were allowed to preserve their splendid Abbey  

by buying it from the Crown for £lOO. The deed of sale, signed by King  

Henry VIII, is still preserved within the Abbey, together with the famous  

Romsey Psalter, an illuminated manuscript dating from 1450 Another  

treasure of the Abbey is remarkable early-sixteeenth-century painted teredos  

which narrowly escaped destruction during the Civil War when the Roundheads  

desecrated the Abbey. On the north wall of the transept may still be seen  

the bullet scars made during that period. The Abbey is surmounted by  

low central tower which houses peal of eight bells, originally hung in  

During their honeymoon in 1947 the Queen, then H.R.H. Princess Elizabeth,  

and the Duke of Edinburgh attended service at Romsey Abbey whfle staying  

at nearby Broadlands, the home of Lord and Lady Mountbatten of Burma.
