Louth Park Abbey, Medieval Cistercian abbey ruins in Keddington, England
The stone remains of Louth Park Abbey stand on elevated ground covering 23 acres, south of the River Lud in Lincolnshire.
Bishop Alexander of Lincoln established Louth Park Abbey in 1139 as a daughter house of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire.
The abbey maintained a community of 66 monks and 91 lay brothers by 1291, following strict Cistercian religious practices.
The site features archaeological remains and stone fragments that demonstrate the architectural elements of medieval monastic structures.
Monks engineered a water system connecting springs from Ashwell and St Helen's to create a moat with channels directed toward fishponds.
