The former gatehouse of Bayham Old Abbey
Pevsner describes Bayham Old Abbey as "The most impressive monastic ruin of Sussex". Bayham belonged to the Premonstratensian Order, founded at Otham in Kent about 1200 direct from Premontre and moved to Bayham between 1208 and 1211. The church and the buildings around the cloister are surprisingly high. The former gatehouse lies next to the River Teise which here forms the border between East Sussex and Kent. This side is in East Sussex. See also Link
