21.4.2011: a strange mixture of pagan and Christian elements. The letters D[is] M[anibus] form the traditional Latin funerary dedication to the gods of the underworld - the dii manes. The Greek words ΙΧΘΥΣ ΖΩΝΤΩΝ (Fish of the living) together with the anchor almost certainly refer to hope of resurrection in Christ. The letters of the Greek word for fish form the first letters of the phrase, 'Jesus the Christ, Son of God, Saviour' (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΗΙΣΤΟΣ ΘΕΟΥ ΥΙΟΣ ΣΩΤΗΡ). The anchor was used as a sign of hope in the resurrected life. The rest of the Latin translation reads: LICINIAE AMIATI BENEMERENTI VIXIT ("To the well-deserving [wife] Licinia Amias, she lived....[next words would be how many years]"). In the Terme di Diocleziano, Museo Nazionale Romano Rome.

Between 1133-36, wealthy nobleman Richard de Brioniis built a priory on his land at Brightley (meaning "bright" or "clear" pasture) and invited Gilbert, Abbot of Waverley in Surrey, to send 12 monks to form a new Cistercian community there. One story is that the agricultural land surrounding the new priory was insufficiently fertile, forcing the monks to consider returning to the mother house in 1141. However, Adelicia de Brioniis, the sister of Richard and successor to his estate, offered them an alternative site close to the River Axe in the manor of Thorncombe. Here, between 1141–48, they built a new priory which came to be known as "Ford" due to its proximity to an old river crossing. The monastery was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. John of Ford (c. 1140 – 21 April 1214) was the prior of Forde Abbey, then from 1186 abbot of its daughter house of Bindon, and between 1191 and 1214 the abbot of Forde. He was a friend and ally of King John during the papal interdict, receiving remuneration from the king. The foundation grew and became very wealthy, eventually possessing lands over 30,000 acres (120 km2) by the 14th century. Sometime in the 13th Century, the body of St. Wulfric of Haselbury was buried in the western transept of the abbey's church, after an attempt by Benedictine monks from Montacute Priory to steal the body of the saint. The third abbot, Abbot Baldwin, became Archbishop of Canterbury. Abbot Chard, the last abbot of Forde at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, surrendered the abbey to the Crown peacefully in 1539. The abbey buildings and lands were leased in 1540 to Sir Richard Pollard (1505-1542), 2nd son of Sir Lewis Pollard (c.1465-1526) of King's Nympton, Devon, Justice of the Common Pleas from 1514 to 1526 Richard Pollard was later knighted and his son sold Forde Abbey to his relative, Sir Amias Poulet of Hinton St George, Somerset. Sir Amias and his father before him, had acted as Steward of the Abbey and its property while it was a monastery. In 1580-81 Sir Amias Poulet was licensed to alienate lands belonging to that abbey to William Rosewell, the 20 year old son of William Rosewell, Solicitor-General. Forde Abbey probably changed hands about the same time. William Rosewell of Forde died in 1593 and Forde Abbey was left to his wife Anne. Their son Henry probably took ownership on maturity in 1611. Henry became Sir Henry Rosewell of Forde in 1619. Forde Abbey was held for nearly seventy years by the Rosewells until it was sold in 1649 to Edmund Prideaux (died 1659), Member of Parliament for Lyme Regis and Treasurer of the Inner Temple, London. He supported the Parliamentary cause during the English Civil War and was the attorney-general for most of the Interregnum. He made a fortune practising law and running the Parliamentary postal service. Having purchased the property he converted the buildings into his private home,[4] with several classicising features, including the small loggia. The house remained largely unchanged during the 18th century, though the gardens were created during this period. In 1815, the house was rented to the philosopher Jeremy Bentham. During the 19th century the house was owned by a succession of owners, some of whom neglected the house while others attempted to renovate it. In 1905, the cousin of the last owner inherited the house and moved in with her husband Freeman Roper, whose descendants still own and occupy the house and estates. Much of the original monastery, including the abbey church was demolished in the period after the dissolution; only two statues, now on display in the Great Hall, have been found from the original church. The monastic parts of the current house are the Great Hall, the north side of the original square of the cloisters as well as the monk's accommodation, the Upper Refectory and the Undercroft, which was the abbey's working area, and the Chapter House, which has been converted into a chapel. Other rooms have been subsequently converted into State Rooms and show no evidence of their earlier use. Prideaux added some bedrooms and a reception area in the front of the building as part of his conversion of the abbey to a private house The gardens of Forde Abbey are one of the main attractions. The Roper family has maintained and improved the gardens during their tenure. The gardens cover 30 acres (120,000 m2) including several water features, planted gardens and an arboretum. The lawns were laid out in front of the house in the 18th century and many of the trees were planted in the 19th century. Beech House by the Great Pond The Great Pond, which was originally the head pond for a watermill, feeds a series of cascades down the hill to three smaller ponds which were a part of the gardens laid down in the 18th century. On the edge of the Great Pond is the Beech House, a structure formed from beech hedges which was created in the 1930s to provide a bird watching hide overlooking the pond. There is also a Bog Garden by the pond. Centenary Fountain In the second largest pond, the Mermaid pond, the Roper family installed the Centenary Fountain in 2005 to commemorate the centennial of their ownership of Forde Abbey. At 160 feet (49 m) in height, it is claimed to be the highest powered fountain in England. Closer to the house surrounding the Long pond, there is extensive planting of flowering plants which provide a colourful sight in the summer months. Behind the house, there is a Victorian walled kitchen garden which originally supplied the house with food but is now mostly used as a nursery to provide plants for sale to the visitors.
Church of St Peter Monument to Sir Dru Drury †1617. Alabaster, presumably commissioned by his children. The church was remodelled in 1855, when the chancel was taken down, the nave doubled in length, and a new chancel added. The monument stands high at the far end of the north wall of the nave, just before the chancel. The choice of site, cutting awkwardly into one of the roof bosses, must have echoed the original position described by Blomefield. Sir Dru Drury kneels at a prie-dieu in part armour under the head of a winged angel set on the underside of the circular canopy. The curtains are held back by two angels, with extravagant contraposto and hair, looking down the nave and to the chancel. The canopy is decorated with coats of arms, repeated above on the ornamental pediment and framed by black marble columns. The inscription, on black marble, under Sir Dru Drury is framed by bosses supporting the ledge. There is a precedent in the marble monument to Sir Robert Chamberlayne †1615 in St Bartholomew the Great, London, commissioned by friends after his loss at sea on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Sir Robert kneels under a canopy, looking up at the rays of the sun, to illustrate the Latin tag at the end of the inscription ‘Coelo tegitur qui non habet urnam—Heaven covers him who has no sepulchre.’ The curtains of the circular canopy are pulled back by two angels, both of whom gaze towards the entrance, while his coat of arms is displayed on the ornamental pediment, and framed by obelisks. Sir Dru Drury’s monument is a slightly provincial version of the Chamberlayne monument, and in turn inspired another weaker variation, the monument to Mrs Margaret Pope †1624 in North Barningham. Sir Dru Drury (1531/2–1617) had been appointed a gentleman usher of the privy chamber in 1559, a position he retained until his death. About 1565 Drury married Elizabeth Woodhouse (d. 1582), whose dowry consisted of the lordship of the manor of Riddlesworth. Following their marriage, the Drurys moved there and built Riddlesworth Hall. After Elizabeth Woodhouse’s death Drury married Katherine (1555/6–1601), daughter and heir of William Finch of Lynsted, Kent, the mother of his four children. Dru Drury was knighted in September 1579 and by 1584 he was elected MP for Norfolk. In November 1586, together with Sir Amias Paulet, he was charged to supervise the imprisonment of Mary, queen of Scots, who found him kind and gracious. Drury was made a lieutenant of the Tower in 1595–6. He was less active during his last years and died at Riddlesworth Hall on 29 April 1617.
