![]() Abbot William Welcomes You to Alton Abbey All who arrive as guests are to be welcomed like Christ, for he is going to say: "I was a stranger and you welcomed me".
Alton Abbey is an Anglican, Benedictine Monastery in the beautiful Hampshire village of Beech, just outside Alton. It has been described by Ruth Gledhill of The Times as "the best-kept secret in the Church of England" and "the place to go when you need six weeks holiday but can only spare a day".
