New signs installed at Romsey Abbey thanks to Friends

The Friends of Romsey Abbey funded the signage, which is designed to help visitors navigate the area and learn about events taking place within the Abbey.

The project took some time due to the legalities and permissions required.

The new signs and notice boards, costing almost £7,000, are all in a corporate colour and design.

A spokesperson for the Friends of Romsey Abbey said: "The Friends of Romsey Abbey were delighted when the new signage they funded was put in place at Romsey Abbey.

"It has taken some time to work through all the bridges needed crossing as well as legalities and permissions required to bring this project to fruition, and undoubtedly, it will make clearer to visitors the area around as well as an indication of what is taking place within the Abbey – useful not only for visitors from outside the area but also those who live in the town."

There are more projects in the pipeline for the Friends to support.
