==Media== Bisham Abbey is described in [[Jerome K. Jerome]]'s 1889 humorous novel ''[[Three Men in a Boat]]''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jerome |first=Jerome |title=Three Men in a Boat|oclc=457566372|publisher=J.W. Arrowsmith|place=Bristol|year=1889|quote=From Marlow up to Sonning is even fairer yet. Grand old Bisham Abbey, whose stone walls have rung to the shouts of the Knights Templars, and which, at one time, was the home of Anne of Cleves and at another of Queen Elizabeth, is passed on the right bank just half a mile above Marlow Bridge. Bisham Abbey is rich in melodramatic properties. It contains a tapestry bed-chamber, and a secret room hid high up in the thick walls. The ghost of the Lady Holy, who beat her little boy to death, still walks there at night, trying to wash its ghostly hands clean in a ghostly basin.}}</ref> During the [[Nationwide Building Society]]'s summer advertising campaign of 2010, when they were official sponsors of the [[England national football team|England football team]] at the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]], one of their television advertisements featured the England team playing on one of the pitches at Bisham Abbey. The [[Church of England parish church|parish church]] was clearly visible in the background.
