| SU7173 | Reading | Abbey Ruins: Morris Dancers perform in front of the Abbey Ruins during
the annual Waterfest. Founded by Henry I in 1121, the abbey was built
on a gravel spur between the rivers Kennet and Thames on a spot
calculated to attract travellers between the major cities of the land. On
the wall of the Chapter House is a plaque showing one of the earliest
pieces of written music in England, the round "Summer is icumen in",
penned by a monk here in the mid
13th century. The abbey was destroyed in 1538 by Henry VIII.![]() |
