TITCHFIELD ABBEY | This ABBEY Hosted ROYALTY and SHAKESPEARE

Titchfield Abbey, located in Hampshire, England, is a fascinating historical site with a rich monastic and later aristocratic past. Originally founded in 1231 by the Premonstratensian order, the abbey was a center of monastic life for over 300 years.
It was endowed by Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, and was one of the few abbeys of this order in England. The Premonstratensian monks, known for their austere lifestyle, engaged in pastoral care and farming, while Titchfield Abbey itself became known for its beautiful Gothic architecture, featuring a grand church, cloisters, and a chapter house.
With the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s under King Henry VIII, Titchfield Abbey was dismantled, and its lands were given to Thomas Wriothesley, a close ally of the king. Wriothesley transformed the abbey into a grand Tudor mansion, known as Place House, by retaining the cloisters and converting the nave into an entrance.
Place House became famous as a gathering spot for the English nobility and even hosted Elizabeth I on several occasions. Its later owners also likely entertained Shakespeare, as Wriothesley was a notable patron of the arts. However, the mansion fell into ruin by the 18th century.

To be, or not to be the most famous abbey of all time, that is the question only in eternity will we know.

This comment has to be my favourite!

Titchfield Abbey is such an incredible place, history, architecture, and literary ties. The Tudor windows and grand chimneys give such a glimpse of the house’s former glory. 😳 it might have hosted some of Shakespeare’s earliest performances, imagine seeing A Midsummer Night’s Dream in such an intimate setting! The preserved medieval tiles and mosaics , even covered for protection, sound fascinating. Thank you for walking us through this gem of Hampshire.Looks like a great spot for history buffs or anyone who loves exploring beautiful ruins.

[@ninja-japan]

I feel a good history there. Thank you for sharing such cool scenery, my friend. It was a great tour & nice information!🥷🇯🇵

Titchfield Abbey, in Hampshire, England, is a fascinating historical site steeped in its past. The building, with its beautiful Gothic architecture, features a magnificent church, monastery and extraordinary chapter house. Thanks for great sharing

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Very very kind! Thank you for commenting!

[@WanderingwithWatto]

What a fantastic place. You can just imagine Shakespeare holding an audience there resisting a sonnet or two. Hanks for showing us around. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️

[@TravelsBook]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video

[@chrisisjustme7546]

What a wonderfully atmospheric place! Really enjoyed your tour and thoughtful narrative... we could just imagine Shakespeare being played here! A big thumbs up from us 👍 Best wishes Neil and Ant 😊

[@AishusCraftyKidsClub]

Beautiful castle 🏰 How nice to see 😊

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thanks for visiting and commenting lovely Aishu

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

That is such a beautiful castle! I love the towers and the drone footage really showed how beautiful this is! The mosaic tiles were cool 😊 Wonderful castle this week!

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you so much DL, so kind of you! Wishing you the BEST week ahead! x

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Hey guys, huge apologies on our lateness. We’re playing catchup with everyone at the moment. We didn’t actually know about this abbey but it looks stunning. It’s a pretty cool ‘party pad’!!! Love the Shakespeare connection, that’s very cool! Whenever we need to know anything about any castle, you’re our first stop. Interesting about Henry VI. It’s had a fair few notable guests there, wow. It would great to see a Shakespeare played in the grounds of the abbey. We’ve worked on tonnes of Shakespeares over the years, but I (Wills) was involved in a promenade version of Midsummer Night’s Dream once in the grounds of various stately homes as well as the grounds of Bodelwyddan Castle, stunning. Love the fireplaces. Wouldn’t it be great to see these places as they would have been. We really enjoyed this as always. Cheers

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Never apologise please Rach and Wills. We appreciate your time when you do get some!! Thank you. That's so so so cool about your connection to these plays too!! Just amazing that this is on our doorstep almost and the royalty that once walked here were able to enjoy those same very footsteps. Anyway. Thank you as always for supporting us, being fantastic friends 🧡 if I don't get to say it then wishing you a very merry Christmas to you and yours xx

[@ervinslens]

Another piece of art! Pure art! Each of your videos is like a short novel! ❤️❤️

[@PinnedonPlaces]

[@pedrozatravel]

Wow , so many layers of history. From abbey, to performance space for Shakespeare, to a Queen Anne mansion is overwhelming. The other thing is it is fascinating that what we see today is only a footprint of what once existed. Thank you for sharing the history with us.

[@Thorkenn]

Hello Alessa and Brit 👋. This abbey is looks inviting in a front view. Makes more amazing all in side. Love ❤️ it. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing. Have a great day. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪. Kenn

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hello Alessa and Brett, what a spectacular Abbey, very interesting history. The door was beautiful, wow the Shakespeare play connection was interesting, loved seeing the remains of the floor tiles. We enjoyed your tour. The drone footage was amazing. So pleased I’ve been able to watch now as we are out this afternoon and may not have been back for your Premiere. Take care x Julie and Tony x

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you so much! So so kind, hope you're enjoying your weekend! I'm loving catching up and watching your videos, Culzean is such a cool place. Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much for watching and enjoying the abbey here at Titchfield, a special place, full of interesting history! xx

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Hi Alessa & Brett, I'm really enjoying watching your video as I eat my breakfast! 🤗 I find the connection to Shakespeare fascinating. To think there once was a small theatre within the castle walls! How wonderful that the young earl, Henry was won over by Shakespeare's dedicated poetry. Oh my, he likely taught at the local school too! How fortunate for the castle's higher echelons to have seen some of Shakespeare's now famous plays for the first time. The castle, even though now a ruin, looks incredibly impressive. I would have loved to have seen it in its heyday. Thanks for the brilliant footage and narration. Have a great Sunday and week ahead ❤❤

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Ahh, you're so kind Julie & Lucy!!! It's amazing isn't it? We're only in Portsmouth, so a stones throw from Titchfield and it's incredible to imagine the connection to Shakespeare. Thank you again for your amazing comment, for your time and most importantly, your support, it's always appreciated! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! Looking forward to your video!

[@DavesAdventures]

Wow that Abbey certainly has many royal guests, thumbs up

[@scootladychicago]

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you so very much you're so kind! I completely agree with you, it's incredible to see the remains and wonder those people who would have lived, worked and ruled here! Thank you again for all your love. Wishing you well too!

[@ScotlandFarAndNear]

[@dinglehopper85]

Wow, that's an impressive abbey ruin. I love how well preserved it is. Cool to see, that some of the original floor tiles are still there.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you so much Thomas! Appreciate your time and support always! x

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Seeing the entrance- I felt drawn into the castle...those awesomely handsome doors. Love the majestic feel they give upon approach. As always you've narrated this video well ( I'm not surprised as it is always pleasant and informative). I also look forward int he video to the drone footage. It also highlights my shortcomings when visiting a castle as I don't get that bird's eye view. I've actually gone to a couple of your videos of castles i have visited just to see it from another perspective. Keep on keeping on you two. Love the opportunity to see and learn. You are a great team. Wishing you a great week ahead. ❤🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Wow...honestly, it's comments like yours Anita that are so special. Thank you so very much. You're so wonderful and a fantastic content creator, I adore watching your videos. Thank you again for all your ongoing support! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! xx

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Sorry I did not realized your upload a day before. I hope you are doing well My gratitude to your productions I enjoy my awe-moments through your walking tour. Not only your historical research & voice-over, but also architecture of this castle is superb! May I ask if those red-bricks are for the restoration materials or original? It seems different material from the rest of stone work. 4:37 awee...poor 15 yrs old girl for the political marriage...just hoped she was happy in a way. We cannot neglect this kind of marriages change the life of a person/princess. Very interesting History of Shakespeare here...since I am not familiar with Again wealth and power....at that era. The drone footage brought this film in a whole Great work Mr. Brett. Miss you , Alessa and Brett. Hope everything is alright.

[@CruiseLife22]

Very impressive, would be great to get a drone up and get some aerial shots!
