About Reading Abbey Gateway
The Abbey Gateway was the inner gate of Reading Abbey and is one of only two abbey buildings still standing whole; the other is the Hospitium of St John the Baptist. It divided the part of the abbey open to the public from the monks' side, with the abbot's lodging just inside. In 1539, after the abbey was dissolved, its last abbot, Hugh Faringdon, was executed outside the gate. In the late 1700s the room above the arch was a classroom for the Reading Ladies' Boarding School, where Jane Austen was a pupil. Sir George Gilbert Scott restored the gateway after part of it collapsed in a storm in 1861, and it reopened in 2018 after a further restoration. It is Grade I listed, and the Reading Half Marathon passes under the arch.
