Worth Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Turners Hill, England
Worth Abbey is a Benedictine monastery centered around a circular church building completed in 1974 that accommodates up to 900 people. A stone altar sits at the heart of this modern structure, with concentric seating arranged around it.
The monastery began as a dependent priory of Downside Abbey in 1933 and became independent in 1957. It received formal abbey status in 1965.
The monastic community shapes the rhythm of the place through daily prayers rooted in Benedictine tradition, which visitors can observe and join.
The site is open during daylight hours and provides ample parking along with accessible facilities for those with mobility needs. A shop selling religious items is available to visitors.
A 2011 renovation by designer Thomas Heatherwick brought specialized lighting and acoustic improvements to the church. This work enhanced how sound and light interact during services.
