In a peaceful location beside the River Ver stands a Tudor mansion built atop the remains of a 12th-century Benedictine nunnery. The nunnery was established in 1140 by Geoffrey the Gorham, the 16th Abbot of St Albans, as a religious house for 13 women. After the nunnery was suppressed by Henry VIII a grand Tudor mansion was built on the monastic ruins.
