The east end of the abbey was completed in 1146. Other buildings in
the complex were added over the next 50 years. The abbey was built in
the
Gothic manner, and in the form of a
St. MJohn's cross.
A considerable portion of the abbey is now in ruins, though a structure
dating from 1590 is maintained as a museum open to the public.
Alexander II and other Scottish kings and nobles are buried at the abbey. The
embalmed heart of
Robert the Bruce is also said to rest on the abbey's grounds, while the rest of his body is buried in
Dunfermline Abbey. In 1812, a stone coffin that some speculated was that of
Michael Scot, the philosopher and "wizard", was found in an aisle in the abbey's south chancel.
The abbey is known for its many carved decorative details, including
likenesses of saints, dragons, gargoyles and plants. On one of the
abbey's stairways is an inscription by John Morow, a master mason, which
says Be halde to ye hende ("Keep in mind, the end, your salvation"). This has become the motto of the town of Melrose.

The following century,
King William III's massive rebuilding and expansion project intended to rival
Versailles was begun.
[1] Work halted in 1694, leaving the palace in two distinct contrasting architectural styles, domestic
Tudor and
Baroque.
While the palace's styles are an accident of fate, a unity exists due
to the use of pink bricks and a symmetrical, if vague, balancing of
successive low wings.

Along with
St. James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII.
Apart from the Palace itself and its gardens, other points of interest for visitors include the celebrated
maze, the historic
real tennis court (see below) and the huge
grape vine, claimed to be the largest in the world.
Berney Arms is a place on the north bank of the River Yare, close to Breydon Water in the English county of Norfolk. It is part of the civil parish of Reedham, is in the district of Broadland and lies within The Broads. It comprises a railway station, a windmill, a public house and a farmhouse. It is the only place in mainland England to have National Rail railway access but no public road.[
Berney Arms takes its name from the pub, The Berney Arms, which is situated nearby and serves walkers and boaters who pass through the area.The pub is named after the landowner Thomas Trench Berney and gave its name to the railway station. Berney sold the land on which the railway was built only on the condition that a station was built to serve the area.
Berney Arms Windmill was built in 1865 and is the tallest windmill in Norfolk at 21.5 metres (71 ft) tall. The mill, which was used to grind cement clinker and then as a drainage mill, closed in 1948 and is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument in the care of English Heritage.The mill was restored in the early 20th century. The mill was the centre of the Reedham Cement Works which at one point supported a small settlement of 11 inhabited houses and a chapel.
