Hartland Abbey and Gardens

Hartland Abbey and Gardens

About
Hartland Abbey holds a unique charm as it continues to be cherished by the family, distinguishing itself from many ancestral homes that have transitioned into mere museums. Here, you’ll encounter the genuine warmth and hospitality that can only be found in a home that is truly lived in.

Experience a heartfelt welcome as you step through the doors, followed by the option of a captivating, guided tour for groups, should you desire one. Alternatively, take your time to explore the house, gardens, and scenic walks at your own pace, indulging in a delightful lunch or cream tea—or why not both?

Whether you opt for a guided tour or a leisurely wander, Hartland Abbey promises an unforgettable experience imbued with the essence of family heritage and a genuine sense of home.

History
Constructed in 1157 and consecrated by Bishop Bartholomew of Exeter in 1160 AD, Hartland Abbey began its journey as a monastery for the regular canons of the Order of St Augustine of Hippo. For nearly four centuries, it stood as a spiritual haven until 1539 when it witnessed the dissolution of monasteries under Henry VIII’s reign, becoming the last monastery in the country to succumb to this fate.

Following its dissolution, Henry VIII bestowed Hartland Abbey upon Mr. William Abbott, the Sergeant of his Wine Cellar at Hampton Court. This generous gift initiated a new chapter in the abbey’s history, as the Abbott family became its custodians, passing down the stewardship through generations. Today, descendants of Mr. William Abbott continue to reside within the Abbey, preserving its rich heritage and sharing its captivating stories with visitors.

Visitor Information
A visit to Hartland Abbey promises fun and fascination for visitors of all ages, with its enchanting gardens and sprawling grounds offering a delightful array of activities. While adults immerse themselves in the rich history of the house and gardens, children can embark on an adventure with the Abbey Quiz (with a prize for all), follow the Malory Towers Trail, or explore the charming paths and woodland walks teeming with nature’s wonders—a total of 3 1/2 miles to explore!

Indulge in delicious homemade light lunches and cream teas at the Old Kitchens Tea Room (accessible only with House and/or Garden tickets), offering a delightful culinary experience amidst historic surroundings.

Don’t miss out on the engaging exhibitions, museum, gift shop, and plant stall, where you can uncover treasures and souvenirs to cherish.

While access to the house involves steps and may pose challenges for wheelchairs, assistance is available. The Tea Room and Exhibitions offer flat and wheelchair-accessible pathways. Unfortunately, electric mobility wheelchairs cannot be accommodated inside the house due to narrow rooms and corridors. However, the surrounding gravel areas provide ease of movement, and the gardens boast accessible sections, such as The Shrubbery.

For outdoor enthusiasts, picnics can be enjoyed on the spacious grassy car park, offering a perfect setting for relaxation and al fresco dining.

While they adore dogs at Hartland Abbey, they kindly request that they remain on leads. Guide dogs are welcome inside the house. Ample parking is available adjacent to the house, ensuring convenience for all visitors.

St Swithin's Church

St Swithin's Church

St. Swithin’s Church at Launcells was famously depicted by Sir John Betjeman as Cornwall’s ‘most unspoiled’ church, tracing its origins to the late 15th century. Incorporating remnants of an earlier 14th-century structure, the building exudes historical charm and architectural integrity.
The Manor of Launcells has a rich history dating back to its mention in the Domesday Book of 1085. Launcells Church, first documented around 1200 when it was assigned to the Abbey of Hartland, boasts an early Norman font. Originally dedicated to St. Andrew, the church was later rededicated to St. Swithin in 1321. During the 15th century, the church underwent reconstruction, with the granite north arcade slightly following the south arcade, crafted from Polyphant stone. The porch retains its original seating and holy water stoup, while the windows feature perpendicular tracery and ancient clear glass, some of which is remarkably old, albeit reconstructed in the north aisle.

Preserved from the 15th century, the original wagon roofs embellish the church, adorned with intricately carved wall plates, purlins, and bosses, while the stairway to the former roof loft resides in the north aisle. A solitary painted panel remains from the original rood screen. The chancel boasts a floor paved with 15th-century Barnstaple encaustic tiles, and the church proudly displays over 60 carved bench ends dating back to the 16th century. A striking wall painting, recently conserved, depicts Abraham and Isaac in Tudor Costume on the west wall, hinting at potential further paintings concealed beneath the plaster.

At the entrance to the south porch lies the oldest tombstone, dating back to 1574, while the Chamond monument in the southeast of the chancel dates to 1624. A Royal Coat of Arms of Charles II adorns the space, alongside six bells, the oldest of which is dated 1751. Georgian influences are evident in the pulpit, tester, and box pews on the north side. In the churchyard, three listed chest tombs, ranging from the late 16th to mid-18th century, further enrich the historical tapestry of Launcells Church.

Any visitor to St. Swithin’s Church will immediately be captivated by its picturesque setting nestled in a tranquil valley, complete with a quaint bridge and babbling stream, alongside the revered Holy Well, said to never run dry. The meticulously maintained graveyard includes a conservation area dedicated to nurturing both insects and flora. Notably, the final resting place of Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, the renowned inventor of Limelight, adds to the site’s historical allure.

Inside, the church is bathed in natural light streaming through its clear glass windows, showcasing its unique architectural features. Visitors are treated to a striking Tudor mural, elegant Georgian pew ends, and exquisite Barnstaple encaustic tiles. Adorning the north wall is a magnificent, sculpted coat of arms of Charles II, accompanied by a letter inscribed by the monarch himself. Perhaps the most remarkable treasures of the church are its intricately carved 15th-century pew ends.
