Burnham Abbey, Medieval abbey in South Bucks, England
The monastic complex includes remaining structures such as the chapter house, sacristy, and fragments of the infirmary from the medieval construction period.
Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, established Burnham Abbey in 1266 as a residence for Augustinian canonesses regular with endowments including several manors and land resources.
The Anglican contemplative community known as the Society of the Precious Blood has maintained regular activities at Burnham Abbey since their establishment in 1916.
The Grade I listed building offers scheduled visits to explore the medieval architecture, religious heritage, and preserved sections of the original monastery complex.
The abbey survived the initial phase of monastery closures in 1536 through local commissioner petitions, continuing operations until its eventual dissolution in 1539.
