Minster Abbey - Ramsgate

House of Prayer

Description

Currently Closed.

Minster Abbey offers guided tours that includes the  historic background to this ancient site, which dates back to the 7th Century.  Ermenburga, great grand-daughter of King Ethelbert of Kent, was granted land to build a house of prayer after the murder of her two brothers due to a political dispute in the court of their cousin Egbert, King of Kent. It is a working nunnery, and there are also the Parkminster tea rooms and play area next door, as well as gardens to visit.
