Torre Abbey south front and gatehouse
Torre Abbey was founded in 1196, became a private house at the dissolution of the monasteries, and was bought by the local council in 1930 as an art gallery. There has just been a major restoration project - it is open and exhibits and captions are being installed. See LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) .
