Castle Acre Priory

Castle Acre was the creation of the Warenne family , established in England by William de Warenne , a veteran of battle of Hastings . William founded the castle , and his son and descendants founded the priory on its existing site , laid out the town , and improved them over successive centuries . By the late Middle Ages the castle had been abandoned , and in 1537 the priory was suppressed , shattering the local economy but ensuring that the essentials of 12th-century Castle Acre remain with us today .

You beat me to it Zbig ...I have been debating to upload a couple recently, but never got round to it. A very serene & peaceful place that still looks impressive today ?
