Pillared Pupit. - Tupholme Abbey Nr. Southrey by Harold Thompson

Pillared Pupit. - Tupholme Abbey Nr. Southrey



Tupholme is derived from the words 'tup' a dialect word for sheep and 'Holme' is aSaxon word for and island and would orginally have been an accurate description of this isolated raised ground amongst undrained marshes
The Abbey was founded in the mid C12th by White Canons so called from the colour of their habits, belonging to the Premonstatensian order. The pic, is of the pillared raised pulpit within the former refectory wall from which bibical readings were made during mealtimes.
Tupholme survived until the Dissolution under Henry VIII in 1536.

An interesting place as only one wall remains and at either end of this wall are the remains of two old farm houses. One 19th Century and one 16th century.
Good detail i the wall and pulpit
