Croxden Abbey, Staffordshire by Paul Via Flickr: The High Altar (right), West Front (centre) and South Transept (left) of this, now ruined, Abbey situated north of Uttoxeter and west of Rocester. . A detailed history of Croxden Abbey can be found on the British History Online web site here. My other images from Croxden Abbey can be found here.
Croxden Abbey, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, another historic property I used to be responsible for.
Croxden Abbey was begun in 1179 after Bertram de Verdun, an important local nobleman, granted land to a community of Cistercian monks in 1176.
At its peak in the 13th century, Croxden housed about 70 monks. Following the monastery’s suppression in 1538 the abbey and its lands were converted into a farm.
The visible remains today include parts of the abbey church, which was one of the most elaborate churches of any Cistercian abbey in England, together with the infirmary and abbot’s lodging.
It is managed by English Heritage and is free to visit.
On the way back we took a quick detour to the 11th century Croxden abbey, honestly the amount of history we drove past on the way here was amazing. The English countryside has so many hidden treasures.
