This 13th Century abbey survived until it was dissolved by Henry VIII during the Reformation. It was, however, partly rebuilt in the 18th century to provide a romantic view for the nearby house. Despite this, the remains of the church, cloister, chapter house and dormitory date still date from the thirteenth Century, as does all the detail found on the abbey remains. The abbey was built out of local sandstone. Visitors to Bayham Abbey can also view the nearby 18th century Dower house. The abbey is set in a picturesque wooded valley, near Tunbridge Wells and Lamberhurst.
