Netley Abbey near Southampton
Netley abbey after the dissolution of the monasteries was converted into a house and in the 18th century became abandoned. Netley is a small village on the outskirts of Southampton and sits on the banks of the estuary of Southampton Water. The abbey ruins are covered in graffiti but most of it, if not all of it is post medieval. This does not however make it dull. One of the images tells of someone’s job as a painter; where they are from (London) and the date.
The abbey is open to the public and owned by English Heritage.
