Eastminster, Cistercian abbey in Tower Hill, England
The monastery consists of limestone walls, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large windows characteristic of medieval ecclesiastical architecture.
Edward III established Eastminster Abbey in 1350 outside the Roman London Wall, following the devastating effects of the Black Death in England.
The abbey received donations primarily from royal court members rather than London merchants, shaping its institutional development over two centuries.
The archaeological site of Eastminster Abbey lies beneath the Royal Mint Court, accessible through guided tours of Tower Hill.
The monastery mills at Crash Mills near the River Thames funded perpetual masses through a bequest from Sir Nicholas de Loveyne in 1375.
