 Romsey
|
|
| Romsey,
located on the River Test, one of England's famous trout and
salmon rivers, this market town was built around a 10th century
abbey which was sold to the townspeople for £100 when Henry
VIII dissolved the monasteries.
A busy market town, the 12th century church is worth a look
as has the deed of sale of the abbey, with Saxon culture and
the tomb of Earl Mountbatten of Burma.
