    1. [ROTH] Roche Abbey
    2. Brian Hough
    3. Hello I have recently come across an old family group photograph taken at my great grandfather's second wedding, he was then aged 76. We have only managed to identify a small number of the group of about 40 guests. >From the obtained marriage certificate it appears the wedding ceremony took place at Blaby near Doncaster in 1902. This group photograph was said to have been taken at Roche Abbey Rotherham. The only clue is the background to the group of an old stone wall and archway. I gather Roche Abbey is only a ruin now. My question is did Roche Abbey ever hold wedding receptions or was it only used as a scenic background for occasions such as this, with the reception being held nearby What happens at Roche Abbey these days?
