Stratford Langthorne Abbey, Cistercian abbey ruins in West Ham, England
The monastery complex covered 20 acres of land between the Channelsea River and Marsh Lane, featuring workshops, mills, and agricultural buildings.
William de Montfichet established the religious institution in 1135, granting the monks his lordship, meadows, mills, and the wood of Buckhurst.
The abbey church expanded from a basic structure to include side chapels and a presbytery, reflecting the increasing wealth of the Cistercian community.
Visitors can examine stone remnants of the monastery at All Saints West Ham Parish Church, including a medieval window and architectural carvings.
Archaeological excavations between 1993 and 1994 revealed 647 burials, providing information about medieval medical practices and burial customs.
