Research by the Old Warden History and Heritage Society alongside the results of a geophysical survey by MOLA (Northampton) have revealed the grandeur of one of the most influential Cistercian houses in medieval England.
Former English Heritage artist, Peter Dunn, has created a reconstruction painting based on this work, showing how Warden Abbey may have looked c.1370.
The original painting will be on display alongside a selection of archaeological artefacts recovered from excavation at Warden Abbey, including architectural fragments, floor tiles, stained glass, and more.
