#nationaltrust #Scudocamper #BucklandAbbey
Buckland Abbey was originally a Cistercian abbey founded in 1278 by Amicia, Countess of Devon and was a daughter house of Quarr Abbey, on the Isle of Wight. It remained an abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII. In 1541 Henry sold Buckland to Sir Richard Grenville the Elder (Sewer of the Chamber to Henry VIII, poet, soldier, last Earl Marshall of Calais) who, working with his son Sir Roger Greynvile (Gentleman of the Privy Chamber of Henry VIII, Captain of the ill-fated Mary Rose), began to convert the abbey into a residence, renaming it Buckland Greynvile. Sir Roger died in 1545 when the Mary Rose heeled over in a sudden squall while the English Fleet was engaged with the French Fleet in the Narrow Sea off Portsmouth. He left a son aged 3, also named Richard Grenville, who completed the conversion in 1575–76. After being owned by the family for 40 years, Buckland Greynvile was sold by Sir Richard the Younger to two intermediaries in 1581, who unbeknownst to Greynvile, were working for Drake, whom he despised. The abbey is unusual in that the church was retained as the principal component of the new house whilst most of the remainder was demolished, which was a reversal of the normal outcome with this type of redevelopment.
Drake lived in the house for 15 years, as did many of his collateral descendants until 1946, when it was sold to a local landowner, Arthur Rodd, who presented the property to the National Trust in 1948.

Buckland Abbey - Home of Sir Francis Drake
Sir Francis Drake was one of the most remarkable characters in the history of Great Britain. He was a gifted navigator and became the second person to circumnavigate the globe in 1580. He was also a privateer who attacked Spanish ships for Queen and country but mostly for the gold and treasure they carried. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I. Drake was Vice Admiral of the English fleet that defeated the invading Spanish Armada in 1588. This video visits his home, Buckland Abbey near Plymouth in Devon. The abbey was a Cistercian monastery founded in 1278 but was seized when King Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church to form the Church of England.

Beginning life as a tranquil monastery with a productive estate, Buckland has been redeveloped, restored and adapted, passing through the hands of famous seafarers and facing a devastating fire. There's no better place to venture on a voyage of discovery.
Founded in 1278, Buckland Abbey was the last of the Cistercian monasteries to be built in medieval England and Wales. For over 250 years, the monks who farmed the vast estate lived in the peaceful solitude of the Tavy valley. The Dissolution of the Monasteries saw Buckland sold to Sir Roger Grenville, who began to modify the abbey into a house and home, and later it was sold again to privateer Sir Francis Drake, the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe.
Buckland Abbey remained in the Drake family for around 400 years, until, following a fire in 1938, it was sold to Captain Rodd, who presented it to the National Trust in 1948. Visitors have been welcomed here since 1951, and the Trust has slowly been purchasing back pockets of the estate to form the comparitavely modest 650 acre property you see today.
A visit to the house
It's hard to imagine the Abbey as a church in its current layout, but look closer and you'll spot scarring on the walls where once a transept stood, secret doorways and stairs that no longer lead anywhere. Archways and pillars, now built into walls, give a nod towards the building's monastic past.
You'll walk in the footsteps of monks, sailors and servants as you journey through rooms from a panelled Tudor chamber to a cosy Georgian dining room. Imagine yourself cooking in the kitchen which boasts features from Elizabethan to Victorian times, and marvel at the original tiled floor in the great hall.
Don't miss Drake's drum, said to beat when England is in danger.
Looking for Rembrandt? At the moment, the portrait is appearing at the Holburne Museum's 'Prized Posessions' exhibition. He'll be back at Buckland in a couple of years' time - keep an eye out for updates on this page.????

Buckland Abbey Promo
After receiving a volunteer role as a patrolling ranger at the Abbey, I got into contact with their social media personnel, James (House and Visitor Experience Manager), who asked whether I could create a short video to promote Buckland Abbey estate.

Flight over Buckland Monachorum
Devon - Buckland Abbey
BUCKLAND ABBEY , am Rande des Dartmoors, war einst die am westlichsten gelegene Zistersienserabtei Englands. Heinrich VIII löste auch dieses Kloster auf und Buckland Abbey wurde Privatbesitz. 1582 kaufte SIR FRANCIS DRAKE das Anwesen und wohnte hier bis zu seinem Tod 1596. Eine Ausstellung dokumentiert sein Leben. Die Fahrt von unserem Cottage in Cornwall ins nahe Devon führte auch durch die Randgebiete des Dartmoors - die Dartmoor-Ponys in dieser herrlichen Landschaft zu sehen, war ebenfalls ein besonderes Erlebnis . . .
Übrigens: vor kurzem war hier der Schauplatz von Filmarbeiten für die neueste Rosamunde Pilcher - Verfilmung Wiedersehen in Rose Abbey, die im Herbst 2014 zu sehen sein wird.

The Garden House Buckland Monachorum near Yelverton - amazing gardens RHS National Trust
The Garden House in Buckland, a few miles from Yelverton
The Garden House is the elegant former home of the vicars of Buckland Monachorum and wasbuilt in the early 19th century.
The history of this 10-acre garden is closely entwined with that of Buckland Abbey and the local church. In 1305 the Bishop instructed the Abbot to build a house for the parish priest and this site was chosen. At the dissolution of the monasteries, the Abbot became the vicar of Buckland Monachorum and by the early 1700s, the vicarage consisted of a substantial 3-storey dwelling. The remains of this building, a tower with spiral staircase and a thatched barn, formerly the kitchen, are now the romantic ruins on the lower terrace in the walled garden.
