About Fencing in Romsey
Romsey in Hampshire grew up around its Benedictine abbey, founded in 907 AD, whose nuns provided a ready market for goods made and grown by the surrounding village, helping the settlement flourish despite the Danes burning the abbey down in 993 and forcing it to be rebuilt. The present Romsey Abbey, built in the Norman style during the 12th century on the site of that earlier Saxon church, is the largest parish church in Hampshire and remains the town's dominant landmark. Romsey's most famous resident was the Victorian Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, born and raised at the nearby Broadlands estate, whose family made a series of generous donations towards the Abbey's upkeep from 1823 onwards, and whose statue, erected in 1867, still stands in the town centre today.
