Milton Abbey Church and Landscape
Milton Abbey and its pastoral setting have been the basis of a sequence of remarkable visions for more than a thousand years:
However, these singular visions ceased in 1932 when financial circumstances resulted in the breakup of the estate. Its place as the heart and soul of a great entity was lost.
The Milton Abbey project, for the first time since 1932, seeks to re-establish an integrated master-plan embodying a single vision. It is not possible to return to the days of single ownership of the estate, but it is practical to establish a partnership which delivers a unified project reflecting a corporate vision. Most importantly, this provides the opportunity for huge benefit locally, nationally and internationally – in keeping with the quality of the buildings, their unique presence and their origin as the cradle of Christianity in Wessex and one of England’s finest structures.
You can become a Member of our Abbey community without financial commitment, although of course gifts and donations are extremely welcome.
Gifts and Donations are vital in helping us continue to carry on the work of The Milton Abbey Heritage Trust.
