Ruins of Reading Abbey Quarter - England, United Kingdom
The Reading Abbey is a large, ruined abbey in the centre of the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. It was founded by Henry I in 1121 for the salvation of his soul, and the souls of King William, his father and King William, his brother and Queen Maud, his wife and all his ancestors and successors.
The traditions of the Abbey are continued today by the neighbouring St James's Church, which is partly built using stones of the Abbey ruins.

Unlocking Reading's Abbey Gateway
Steve Underwood of Abbey Gate Locksmiths, a family run company in Reading, has recently played an integral part of the restoration to the Abbey Quarter.
He’s crafted a gothic revival lock case to the main entrance door of the Abbey Gateway, restored an original lock and cut new keys to the old tower door.
Steve has certainly had his work cut out during the project, but when our reporter Tom St John spoke to him at the Abbey Gateway, it was pretty clear that he’d loved every minute of it.
Winter Conservation Works At Reading Abbey
The 900 year old Reading Abbey Ruins won’t be going anywhere in a hurry; their solid foundations were well constructed by the medieval builders of the time, so it’s likely to stay standing in Reading for further centuries to come.
However, stone masons from Cliveden Conservation are now back at the site this autumn, ensuring the newly conserved remains are protected during the winter months.
The conservation will involve using a medieval technique of hot lime mortar, similar to the methods used in the original construction of the Abbey almost 900 years ago.
Our reporter Tom St John has more.

Reading is a large, historically important town in Berkshire, England, of which it is the county town. It was an important trading and ecclesiastical centre in the medieval period, as the site of Reading Abbey, one of the richest monasteries of medieval England with strong royal connections, of which the 12th century abbey gateway and significant ruins remain. The town was seriously affected by the English Civil War, with a major siege and loss of trade, and played a pivotal role in the Revolution of 1688, with that revolution's only significant military action fought on the streets of the town. The 19th century saw the coming of the Great Western Railway and the development of the town's brewing, baking and seed growing businesses. Today Reading is a major commercial centre, with involvement in information technology and insurance, and, despite its proximity to London, has a net inward commuter flow.
The first evidence for Reading as a settlement dates from the 8th century. By 1525, Reading was the largest town in Berkshire, and tax returns show that Reading was the 10th largest town in England when measured by taxable wealth. By 1611, it had a population of over 5000 and had grown rich on its trade in cloth. The 18th century saw the beginning of a major iron works in the town and the growth of the brewing trade for which Reading was to become famous. During the 19th century, the town grew rapidly as a manufacturing centre. It is ranked the UK's top economic area for economic success and wellbeing, according to factors such as employment, health, income and skills. Reading is also a major regional retail centre serving a large area of the Thames Valley, and is home to the University of Reading. Every year it hosts the Reading Festival, one of England's biggest music festivals. Sporting teams based in Reading include Reading Football Club and the London Irish rugby union team, and over 15,000 runners annually compete in the Reading Half Marathon.

Could another English king be buried under a car park?
For More Latest News Subscribe us:
LONDON: Just three years after the extraordinary discovery of King Richard III under a car park, researchers think another medieval English monarch might be found buried beneath a parking lot and are hoping to find him.
Philippa Langley, the inspiration behind the successful hunt for Richard III's remains, is now on the trail of his forebear Henry I, one of the first rulers of England following the Norman conquest in the 11th Century.
She is part of a team seeking backing to search for the ruins of Reading Abbey, founded by Henry in 1121 and where he was buried after his death 14 years later, allegedly brought about by eating too many lampreys, a type of fish.
Like Richard, the exact whereabouts of Henry's final resting place is unknown after the abbey, including his tomb, was mostly destroyed some 400 years later.
The thinking in Reading, using current estimates of the size of the abbey, is that this burial spot is located beneath a school, Langley told BBC History Magazine.
If the abbey is larger, it could be situated underneath either what is today a playground or a car park.
