For #MonasteryMonday here is a doorway from Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire. Some of my ancestors would have used the parish church here (formerly, I believe , the refectory), but unfortunately it was closed when we visited.

For #MonasteryMonday here is Beaulieu Abbey in Hampshire. The former refectory (left) became the parish church. I have a number of ancestors in the parish in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Regrettably it was closed because they were installing the organ!

Not sure if #MonasteryMonday is a Bluesky thing (it should be, if not), but here are some pictures from my visit last week to the Sufi lodge at Blagaj Tekke, near Mostar. Founded c. 1520, it has a stunning location and architecture, including the cutest little hammam at its heart.
