Beautifully situated on
the banks of the River Test – world famous for
its trout and salmon - this market town grew
around ancient Romsey Abbey which was founded
by Alfred the Great’s son, Edward, and later
purchased by local people when the monasteries
were dissolved by Henry VIII.
Inside is a marble slab marking the burial
place of Earl Mounbatten who was assassinated
by an IRA bomb in 1979. |
