The important Benedictine Abbey of Winchcombe has left very little trace in the modern landscape.  This talk will focus on searching for clues which still survive in and around the town.  There will be an opportunity to browse a display of archives and books relating to the Abbey, showing the breadth of its impact on Gloucestershire, including a star item covering the period 811 to 1328.
