Worth Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Turners Hill, England
The circular abbey church features a central stone altar surrounded by seating for 900 people within its modern architectural design completed in 1974.
Founded in 1933 as a dependent priory of Downside Abbey, Worth Abbey gained independence in 1957 and received its formal abbey status in 1965.
The monastic community gathers six times daily for liturgical prayers, maintaining traditional Benedictine practices while offering public access to services.
The abbey remains open throughout the day, providing parking facilities, accessible toilets, and a church shop for visitors seeking religious items.
The 2011 renovation by Thomas Heatherwick introduced specialized lighting and acoustic improvements to enhance the worship experience in the circular church.
