Ixworth Abbey, Grade I listed building in Ixworth, Suffolk, England.
The current structure of Ixworth Abbey incorporates elements from multiple centuries, featuring a mixture of architectural styles and preserved medieval components.
Founded in 1170 by Gilbert de Blund as an Augustinian priory, the building underwent significant changes following its dissolution in 1537 and subsequent renovations.
The east range of the former priory remains nearly complete, while sections of the west range have been integrated into the present residential structure.
Currently functioning as a private residence for the Rowe family, the abbey remains closed to public access and does not participate in heritage tourism programs.
Stone materials from the original priory construction were repurposed in the 16th century to construct Hengrave Hall, located north of Bury St Edmunds.
