This Month - A Potted History of Tintern Abbey - contributed by SoniaAs you are probably aware, Stella Books is located in the heart of the village of Tintern on the banks of the River Wye. But did you know that Tintern's claim to fame is that of its famous Abbey? The Abbey is situated just south of Stella Books, about half a mile down the road. Those coming from the direction of Chepstow on the A466 will not miss it on their right-hand side as they enter Tintern. It truly is a breathtaking sight as it comes in to view, dominating the whole valley. |
Featured Book - The Abbey Girls in Town - contributed by CatrionaThe Abbey Girls in Town is set mainly in London. Ruth Devine arrives from South Africa to stay with her cousins, Mary and Biddy, for the Christmas period. She has not met her cousins before and, understandably, is nervous about being there. After the Christmas holiday Ruth goes with Mary and Biddy to their Morris and Country Dancing lessons. Here she meets Jen and Joy as well as Joy's wards, Maidlin and Rosamund...... Having read the book I thought I would find out more about Elsie J. Oxenham and the Abbey series. Read the full article. |
