Specialist note

Bayham Abbey sits on the river Teise near Lamberhurst in Kent. It was founded by a Norman landowner Ralph de Dene in 1200 and was dissolved by Cardinal Wolseley in 1525. The estate belonged to the Camden Family in the late 18th century and they built Bayham Old Abbey House with grounds landscaped by Humphry Repton. The Abbey is now owned by English Heritage.
