Halesowen Abbey, 13th-century Premonstratensian abbey ruins in Halesowen, England
The remaining red sandstone walls of the monastery include sections of the presbytery, south transept, east end, and south aisle of the original church.
King John granted the manor of Hales to Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, in 1214, leading to the establishment of Halesowen Abbey in 1218.
The monastery functioned as a rest stop for religious travelers heading to St Kenelm's Church in Romsley, where a spring was believed to possess healing properties.
Visitors can reach the abbey ruins through a footpath starting 150 meters west of the Black Horse pub along the A456, crossing a stile to view the site.
The north barn of Manor Farm incorporates medieval masonry and timbers from the original abbey, preserving elements of the monastic church within its structure.
