Bardney Abbey, Benedictine monastery ruins in Bardney, Lincolnshire, England
The remains of Bardney Abbey lie near the River Witham, featuring visible pillar bases and foundation stones across the archaeological site.
King Æthelred of Mercia established Bardney Abbey in 697, and the monastery operated until its dissolution by Henry VIII in 1538.
The monastery received the relics of King Oswald of Northumbria in 679, making it a central location for religious pilgrimage in medieval England.
The archaeological site maintains protective status as a scheduled monument, with several carved stones now preserved in the nearby St Lawrence Church.
Six monks from Bardney Abbey faced execution for their participation in the Lincolnshire Rising against Henry VIII's religious reforms.
