The Abbey Henry VIII Destroyed | Exploring Old Bayham Abbey

Hidden on the Kent and Sussex border, Bayham Old Abbey is one of England’s most atmospheric medieval ruins. In this video, I walk through the remains of this 800-year-old abbey, uncovering the dramatic history behind the monks who lived here, the riots that broke out here, and how Henry VIII’s destruction of the monasteries changed this place forever. From the towering Gothic arches to the old gatehouse and bridge, Bayham Abbey still feels frozen in time. Along the way, we explore medieval life, Tudor history, abandoned ruins, and the strange story of how parts of the abbey later became a romantic summer retreat. If you enjoy hidden history, historic ruins, abandoned places, medieval England, and relaxing walking tours, this one’s for you. 📍 Location: Bayham Old Abbey, Kent / East Sussex, England 👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment if you’d visit this place yourself. #BayhamAbbey #HenryVIII #MedievalHistory #AbbeyRuins #EnglishHistory #HistoricEngland #Kent #AbandonedPlaces #TudorHistory #HiddenHistory #hauntsandjauntsadventures 🌐 Follow me on social media: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hauntsandja... 🎬TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hauntsandjaun... ☕️If you would like to support my adventures you can buy me a coffee here: https://buymeacoffee.com/Hauntsandjau... music - 'Beyond These Walls' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au
