Mottisfont Abbey Garden, House and Estate
Mottisfont Abbey is a 12th century Augustinian priory which was converted into a private house after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and still contains the spring or `font´ from which its name is derived, and the cellarium from the old priory. The Abbey´s drawing room is decorated with Rex Whistler´s murals and the 20th century picture collection of Derek Hill is on display. It is set in the centre of a large estate that includes most of the village of Mottisfont and the grounds have magnificent trees, walled gardens and the National Collection of Old-fashioned Roses.
