| The town is well known for a 15th century bridge – Abingdon Bridge – that spans the River Thames, and is also home to the remains of an ancient Benedictine Abbey.
Further interest is to be found in the County Hall Museum which occupies a grand building once used as the County Hall of the county of Berkshire – in which it once resided – and is also home to one of the earliest recorded schools in the country – Abingdon School. The town is also famed for being a traditional home of Morris Dancing, the ancient form of dance that is very English in its origins, and troupes still perform to this day, and there are many architecturally attractive buildings in the town itself. |
