Revesby Abbey, Monastery ruins in Revesby, England
The remaining foundations of Revesby Abbey stand within the rural landscape of Lincolnshire, marking the location of a medieval religious complex.
Founded in 1143 by William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln, the monastery operated until its closure during the dissolution of monasteries under Henry VIII.
Cistercian monks at Revesby Abbey maintained agricultural lands, held weekly markets, and organized annual fairs that shaped the regional economy.
The archaeological site contains underground remnants and earthworks that indicate the original layout of the monastic buildings and church.
The abbey generated an annual income equivalent to over £1 million in modern currency before its dissolution in 1539.
