Wykeham Abbey, English country house and Grade II* listed building in Wykeham, North Yorkshire, Great Britain.
The main building of Wykeham Abbey includes architectural elements from multiple periods, with a substantial loggia added in 1839 and further expansions in 1904.
Originally established between 1140 and 1160 as a Cistercian nunnery, the site transformed into a country house after the dissolution of monasteries in 1539.
The north wall of the original priory church remains standing as a testament to the 12th-century ecclesiastical architecture of Yorkshire.
The surrounding estate encompasses 2,500 acres of land, featuring Grade II listed outbuildings and stables designed by William Butterfield in 1854.
During World War I, Wykeham Abbey operated as a Red Cross recovery hospital, providing care for over 1,520 soldiers and non-commissioned officers.
