Sawley Abbey

Sawley Abbey

Sawley Abbey was an abbey of Cistercian monks in the village of Sawley, Lancashire, in England. It existed from 1147 until its dissolution in 1536, during the reign of King Henry VIII of England, Ireland, and France. Its ruins, which are controlled by English Heritage, are open to the public. Although not an extensive ruin, there are boards on the site that give information regarding the history of the place. In addition, parts of the church and refectory can still be seen.

The abbey is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument. [cite web | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=183470 | title=Detailed Record: Sawley Abbey | work=Images of England | publisher=English Heritage | date=2007 | accessdate=2008-09-20 ]
