EDITORS COMMENTS
Ingress Abbey, located in Greenhithe, Kent, England, is a captivating historical site that has stood the test of time. This postcard image, published by an unknown publisher, showcases the beauty and grandeur of this ancient monastery, which dates back to the 13th century. The Abbey, also known as St. Mary's Abbey, was founded in 1148 by the monks of the Augustinian Order. The ruins that remain today tell the story of its rich history, which includes being dissolved during the English Reformation in the 16th century. The site has since been a popular destination for history enthusiasts, photographers, and visitors seeking a glimpse into the past. The photo on this postcard, taken by Terry Parker, captures the essence of Ingress Abbey's tranquil and mystical atmosphere. The ruins, covered in ivy and moss, stand proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the intricate details of the ancient architecture. The image also showcases the picturesque surroundings of the Abbey, with the River Thames flowing gently in the foreground and the lush greenery of the countryside in the background. The peaceful scene is a reminder of the natural beauty that surrounds this historic site. The postcard's caption reads, "Ingress Abbey, Greenhithe, Kent," providing a simple yet descriptive title for the image. The lack of additional text allows the beauty of the photograph to speak for itself, inviting the viewer to imagine the stories that lie within the walls of this ancient Abbey. Overall, this postcard image of Ingress Abbey is a stunning representation of the rich history and natural beauty that can be found in Greenhithe, Kent. The unknown publisher and photographer, Terry Parker, have captured a moment in time that invites us to appreciate the past and the present.
