Hi today I explored an abandoned monastery once lived in by monks. The building was designed in the 1930s but was not completed until 1972. plans to demolish the former monastery to make way for luxury houses. prinknash Abbey was opened 1n 1972 but has been empty since 2008 when the resident monks moved back to their previous home of St Peters grange -a 15th century grand listed building. Unfortunately we could not find a way in but will return to try again. enjoy #history #abandonedplaces #abandoned #monastery #monks #painswick
