About Fencing in Abingdon
Abingdon in Oxfordshire holds a strong claim to being the oldest continuously inhabited town in Britain, with archaeological evidence of settlement stretching back to the Neolithic period and through the Iron Age, when a defensive enclosure stood on the site now occupied by the town centre. The real foundation of the town as it is known today came with the establishment of Abingdon Abbey around 676 AD, which grew so wealthy that by the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII it ranked as the sixth richest abbey in the country. The abbey had a turbulent earlier history too, suffering badly during Danish raids in the 9th century, and when Alfred the Great took control of the manor around 878 AD following his victory over the Danes, the abbey was left abandoned for a time before its later medieval revival.
