Hi Patricia,
thanks for that ...
to answer your questions:
1. The monument to Sir William Trussell in Westminster Abbey was removed some time in the 18th century, the Abbey were unable to tell be what happened to it, or why it was removed. Interestingly thjough, the monument to Sir William Trussell at Shottesbrooke was obviously made for somewhere else, it doesn't fit properly and is very ornate. I think it may be the one that was in Westminster Abbey. I will post some pictures of it onto the Trussell Group; go to:

2. Odiham castle is now just ruins, again I will find some photos and post them onto the Trussell-Group website.
3. The manor house at Shottesbrooke probably took more of the form of a hunting lodge, the church there is remarkably grand, which a huge spire. Its in lovely surroundings, and some of the buildings of the collegiate that William Trussell set up are still there. Once again, I will post some photos.
regards
Ron Trussell
