Bisham Abbey, The Warwick Room

If buildings could speak, Bisham Abbey would have a fascinating story to tell. The 800 year old Abbey was once a home for the English nobility and aristocracy and is now part of one of Sport England’s National Sports Centres used as a prestigious training venue for over 20 different sports and organisations including the English Institute of Sport, England Hockey, Living Tennis and the England Football and Rugby Associations. The Abbey is also available for private hire for functions, corporate events, conferences and weddings.

Originally the dining room of the Holby family, the Warwick Room was built in 1680. During both the first and second world wars, the Abbey was used as a convalescent home. In 1914 this room was converted into a hospital ward for Belgian soldiers.
