The next position on the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Nottinghamshire is Newstead Abbey. Formerly an Augustinian priory, Newstead Abbey is located in the English county of Nottinghamshire. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was transformed into a domestic residence, but today it is most known as the former residence of Lord Byron.
Newstead Abbey, which was formerly an Augustinian priory, is situated in the English county of Nottinghamshire. It was converted into a domestic residence after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but now it is most known as the former home of Lord Byron.
The old home and monastic ruins left a profound impression on the young Byron, despite his disgraceful departure from Newstead and the fact that he only lived there for one year full-time, and his poetry style undoubtedly fits with the gothic romance of the location. Particularly impressive is the monastery façade on the west front. You may discover Byron's bedroom in the main house's maze-like maze of chambers, where his own pistol is set out on a nightstand next to his golden bed.
