Bisham Church, Buckinghamshire, England, 2001
When the black monks of Bisham were forcibly evicted from their adjoining Abbey in 1538, Henry VIII's commissioners had to drag the Abbot from the High Altar. As he was bundled into a cart, he turned and cursed any family who should ever live there: "As God is my witness, this property shall ne'er be inherited by two direct
successors, for its sons will be hounded by misfortune." British Landscape Panoramic Photograph.
