Tupholme Abbey, Medieval monastery ruins in Tupholme, England

The remaining wall of Tupholme Abbey stands two stories tall with small windows and architectural elements from its original Premonstratensian design.

Founded between 1155 and 1165 by Gilbert and Alan de Neville, the abbey operated until 1536 when Henry VIII ordered its closure during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

The Premonstratensian canons at Tupholme Abbey dedicated their lives to preaching and pastoral ministry rather than following strict monastic seclusion.

The abbey site, located 10.5 miles east of Lincoln, underwent repairs after Heritage Lincolnshire acquired it in 1988 to preserve its historical structure.

In 1972, the grounds of this medieval religious site transformed into a large-scale pop festival venue, hosting performances by Rod Stewart and the Beach Boys.
