EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Bisham Abbey Manor House: A Medieval Masterpiece Built Around an Ancient Preceptory Bisham Abbey Manor House, nestled in the picturesque village of Bisham, Berkshire, England, is a captivating blend of history and architecture. The existing house, which dates back to the 17th century, is not only a fine example of Elizabethan design but also conceals an ancient preceptory that was built by the Knights Templar during the 13th century. The Knights Templar, an influential military and religious order, owned the manor during the Middle Ages. They constructed the preceptory, an architectural complex that served as a base for a small community of knights, around 1220 AD. The ancient ruins of the preceptory, which can still be seen today, are a testament to the rich history of this remarkable site. The medieval preceptory, built of flint and stone, features a distinctive round church with a conical roof, a hall, and various ancillary buildings. The round church, which is one of the best-preserved examples in England, is believed to have been used for both religious and secular purposes. The hall, with its impressive timber roof, is a fine example of medieval architecture and is still used for events and gatherings. The Bisham Abbey Manor House, which has undergone various renovations and additions over the centuries, is now a private residence. The ancient ruins of the preceptory, however, are open to the public and are maintained by English Heritage. A visit to this historic site offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich history of the Knights Templar and the medieval period in England. This photograph captures the beauty and mystery of Bisham Abbey Manor House and its ancient preceptory, transporting us back in time to an era of chivalry, faith, and architectural innovation.
