Sibton Abbey, Medieval abbey ruins in Sibton, England.
The remains of Sibton Abbey include stone walls, arches, and foundations spread across the grounds near the River Yox in Suffolk County.
Founded in 1150 by William de Chesney, this Cistercian monastery operated until 1536 when Henry VIII ordered its closure during the Dissolution of Monasteries.
The ruins demonstrate the Norman architectural elements with their characteristic rounded arches and thick stone walls typical of 12th-century religious buildings.
The site maintains private ownership under the Levett-Scrivener family, and visitors need special permission to access these protected medieval remains.
This structure stands as the sole Cistercian abbey ever built in Suffolk, featuring a preserved refectory hall from the mid-12th century.
