Abbeys & Monasteries

An Abbey is a term used for a Monastery or Nunnery. The "Benedictine Rule" was brought to England in the 6th Century, and over the next millenium different settlements were established. In the 16th Century, Henry VIII took the decision to begin the dissolusion of the monasteries. However, several good examples still exist. Select your choice from the menu above.
