Egglestone Abbey, Premonstratensian abbey near Barnard Castle, England
The stone ruins of Egglestone Abbey stand on the south bank of the River Tees, surrounded by green fields and ancient trees.
The abbey, established between 1168 and 1198 by the Multon family, operated until 1540 when King Henry VIII ordered its dissolution during the reformation period.
The Premonstratensian canons, known as White Canons, maintained this religious center while distributing food and supplies to local communities near the River Tees.
English Heritage maintains the site with free admission, and visitors can access the ruins daily from 10 AM to 6 PM through Abbey Lane in County Durham.
The abbey contains an advanced medieval plumbing system that demonstrates the technical capabilities of religious architects during the twelfth century.
