St Mary's Abbey, Kenilworth, Grade I listed abbey ruins in Kenilworth, England.

The stone remnants of St Mary's Abbey include fragments of the west door, crossing piers, and sections of the north transept in Abbey Fields.

Geoffrey de Clinton established this Augustinian monastery in 1119, which became one of the wealthiest religious institutions in Warwickshire by the 15th century.

The surviving 14th-century gatehouse and former Priory Hall now function as essential elements of Kenilworth's architectural and religious heritage.

Visitors can explore the Abbey Museum on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from Easter to September, with guided tours available during July's Festival of Archaeology.

Local buildings across Kenilworth contain stones from the abbey, as residents repurposed materials following its dissolution in 1538 under Henry VIII.
