Douai Abbey is a Benedictine abbey situated at Upper Woolhampton near the city of Reading in Southern England. The abbey's sponsor is Saint Edmund who was the patron saint of England until replaced by the Plantagenet kings. Unlike St George, who had probably never even heard of England, Saint Edmund was a true Englishman and King of East Anglia. He died protecting his country and his religion.The church is extremely unusual in that it consits of two very different styles of building constructed quite some time apart. Anyone interested in architecture will enjoy a visit.
