    Abingdon Facts – Did you know…

    1. Desperately Dull
      In his 1889 novel Three Men in a Boat Jerome K Jerome wrote, “Abingdon is a typical country town of the smaller order — quiet, eminently respectable, clean, and desperately dull.” He clearly didn’t know the town’s history…
    2. Married Monk
      In the Middle Ages, Abingdon’s abbot married a nun from a nearby priory. He was kicked out of the order and moved to Banbury.
    3. Skullduggery?
      After a new Abbey took away their right to graze cattle in 1310, the outraged townsfolk refused to pay taxes. The abbot pressed charges against the town officials, but before the trial could take place, the abbot drowned when a boat he was travelling in capsized. Divine influence or foul play?
    4. Bad to Worse
      The two sides fell out again at a town meeting in 1327. The following night the abbey was attacked, the defending monks killed two townsmen and took several prisoner. The town turned to Oxford’s mayor for help, who brought a new force, captured the abbey and released the prisoners. A number of monks were killed, the rest fled.
    5. Return of the Monks
      It didn’t end there. The abbot ran to King Henry III and returned with the King’s troops, who hanged 12 townsmen.
    6. Abbey-ly Ever After
      In 1538 Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries put an end to the abbey and its greedy ways. But without it’s influential abbey, the town suffered an economic downturn.
    7. I Predict A Riot
      The townsfolk remained a rebellious bunch, more riots took place in 1431 (the ringleaders hanged) and the 1800’s (the ringleaders sent to Australia).
    8. Law & Disorder
      Around 1600, when “much evil rule and disorder is kept and used.”, the council ordered the man of every house should, “have a good and sufficient club, ready when need shall require it”, to help police the town.
    9. Take That Mr Jerome!
      King Athelstan, and Henry III visited. Henry IV brought his army during the War of the Roses. Henry VI was captured after being betrayed by an Abingdon monk. King Charles made the town his military base through the English Civil War. And party loving Henry VIII briefly made it his home. Did someone say ‘dull’?
