PENTNEY A picturesque, ancient village with a rich history that can be traced back to the time of William of Normandy. Pentney, mentioned in the Doomsday book, exudes a timeless charm which is sure to captivate visitors and residents alike.

As you approach Pentney, your attention will be immediately drawn the imposing structure which is none other than the Gatehouse of Pentney Abbey, a significant historical site for the village. Pentney Abbey was once an Augustinian Priory for nearly 500 years, from 1075 to 1534, before its Suppression by King Henry VIII. Today, the Gatehouse stands as a testament to the abbey's former grandeur and provides a glimpse into the village's storied past.

The lane is often used by riders, hacking out from the nearby livery yard. The village boasts a relaxed, rural lifestyle which appeals to those seeking tranquillity.
