Coverham Abbey, Premonstratensian monastery ruins in Coverham, England
The remaining structures of Coverham Abbey include stone archways, flanking buildings with slate roofs, and sections incorporated into residential houses.
The monastery moved from Swainby to Coverham in 1202 when Ranulph FitzRobert relocated his mother Helewise's remains to the chapter house.
Two medieval stone effigies of knights stand against the garden wall of Coverham Abbey House, showing the artistic craftsmanship of that period.
The monastery remains are visible from Holy Trinity Church yard, as the site itself remains under private ownership and closed to visitors.
The abbey sustained major damage from Scottish raids between 1314 and 1318, leading to a complete reconstruction phase that finished by 1350.
