Wigmore Abbey, Medieval abbey in Adforton, England
The stone remains of Wigmore Abbey include sections of walls, gatehouses, and a three-story L-shaped building that served as the abbot's residence.
Founded in 1135 at Shobdon by Hugh de Mortimer, the abbey relocated to Wigmore in 1160 before settling in Adforton in 1172.
The abbey became the largest religious establishment in Herefordshire, developing a monastic grange that supplied provisions to the resident Augustinian canons.
The Grade I listed structure maintains its Norman sub-structure while the upper levels display architectural modifications from the 16th through 20th centuries.
The Grange building ends in an 18th-century summer house and features inner and outer gatehouses dating from the 14th century.
