Mottisfont Abbey. Originally an Augustinian Priory founded in 1201 and dissolved in 1536. It was granted to William, Lord Sandys who converted it to a country house, thus preserving a considerable amount of the monastic buildings. The present 3-storey red brick house dates from circa 1740. The 3-bay central block with pediment, is flanked by double brick projections, beyond these are stone-built wings with projecting single-storey terraces over the remains of the abbey buildings. The north and east faces of the house preserve the arcading and butressing of the C.13 church. The grounds contain the important National Trust collection of historic roses, and some notable trees, particularly a giant London plane. Now owned by the National Trust and open to the public at certain times of the year. O.S.A. No. SU32 NW6. Ref: 1. Mediaeval Religious Houses, England and Wales, (Knowles and Hadcock), p.146. Ref: 2.
