All that remains is a tall square tower and
broad buttresses.
A religious house since 927 AD
Now an Abbey Church,
Honey-coloured stone.
I entered as bell ringers began their Peel of
eight bells,
A three hour requiem for one of their number,
recently deceased
Outside
Afternoon sun underlines the rhythm of
Romanesque
Clearly evident on the southeast façade.
Inside,
A noble knight in marble,
At rest in the south transept,
His cloak and armour clear for us to touch.
