In this video we visit the National Trust Buckland Abbey. #nationaltrust #Scudocamper #BucklandAbbey Buckland Abbey was originally a Cistercian abbey founded in 1278 by Amicia, Countess of Devon and was a daughter house of Quarr Abbey, on the Isle of Wight. It remained an abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII. In 1541 Henry sold Buckland to Sir Richard Grenville the Elder (Sewer of the Chamber to Henry VIII, poet, soldier, last Earl Marshall of Calais) who, working with his son Sir Roger Greynvile (Gentleman of the Privy Chamber of Henry VIII, Captain of the ill-fated Mary Rose), began to convert the abbey into a residence, renaming it Buckland Greynvile. Sir Roger died in 1545 when the Mary Rose heeled over in a sudden squall while the English Fleet was engaged with the French Fleet in the Narrow Sea off Portsmouth. He left a son aged 3, also named Richard Grenville, who completed the conversion in 1575–76. After being owned by the family for 40 years, Buckland Greynvile was sold by Sir Richard the Younger to two intermediaries in 1581, who unbeknownst to Greynvile, were working for Drake, whom he despised. The abbey is unusual in that the church was retained as the principal component of the new house whilst most of the remainder was demolished, which was a reversal of the normal outcome with this type of redevelopment. Drake lived in the house for 15 years, as did many of his collateral descendants until 1946, when it was sold to a local landowner, Arthur Rodd, who presented the property to the National Trust in 1948. ► M Y G E A R FILMED WITH THESE CAMERAS - http://amzn.to/2pgkKWQ BEST VLOGGING CAMERA -http://amzn.to/2pgkKWQ FAVORITE LENS - http://amzn.to/2FZ0cfZ STEADY CAM - http://amzn.to/2FZ0mnB BENDY TRIPOD FOR VLOGGING - http://amzn.to/2peIOdG MY GIMBLE - http://amzn.to/2tR0aSp FILTER YOU MUST HAVE - http://amzn.to/2FKFwVP BEST FOR SOUND MIC - http://amzn.to/2HEaeAt These are affiliate links which means I earn a very small commission on any purchases you make when buying from Amazon by using these links. ****************** See my website at www.scudocamper.uk/p/main.html Check out my Blogs at http://www.scudocamper.eu/ or http://scudocamping.blogspot.co.uk/ See my recipes at http://scudocampercooking.blogspot.co.uk/ Video: Copyright Scudocamper 2017 music: Copyright Epidemicsounds.com ► I N S T A G R A M https://www.instagram.com/scudocamper/ @scudocamper ► M E R C H A N D I S E https://shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/ScudoCamper-Wear/ ► F O L L O W M E Facebook https://www.facebook.com/scudo.camper2 Twitter https://twitter.com/ScudoCamper Instagram https://www.instagram.com/scudocamper/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT SCUDOCAMPER - VARIETY TV My videos are funded by people like YOU.
