Alton Abbey has been in existence since 1895 as the home of a community of men following the Benedictine way of life within the Church of England. The Community itself was founded some ten years earlier on work among merchant seamen in foreign seaports undertaken by Father Charles Plomer Hopkins.

Since the death of Father Hopkins in 1922, the Community's work has gradually developed a greater emphasis on the monastic rather than the active apostolate, with the Liturgy of the Hours at the core of the communal life. The work with the mercantile marine has continued as a grant-making trust (the Seamen's Friendly Society) since 1989, when the home for the elderly was closed.

For over 100 years the Benedictine Abbey has been a prominent landmark just to the west of Alton. The buildings were designed by Sir Charles Nicholson, using Tintern Abbey as a model; the first monks did much of the construction using local flint.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
