Anglesey Abbey, near Bottisham, 1854. 'In the architectural section, the Rev. J. Hailstone the Rector of Bottisham, gave a detailed account of Anglesea Abbey in the parish of Hornesey, about four miles from Cambridge. The principal remains are the refectory; a series of arches apparently leading by a staircase to the upper rooms; two doorways, one containing the initials of William de Reche (a Prior in 1515) and the arms of the Clare family, who were great patrons; and part of a cloister. The rest of the building was the manor-house, built of the materials of the Abbey after its dissolution...The hypotheses as to its state seemed to be that no part of the church now exists; that the part where the entrance is was formerly the chapter-house, and then converted into a mansion, by the introduction of a floor and windows in the debased style of Gothic architecture...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
