Hyde Abbey, Medieval abbey ruins in Winchester, England.
The remaining gatehouse stands as the main structure of this former Benedictine monastery, with ancient stone walls marking the former church location.
King Henry I ordered the relocation of New Minster to Hyde in 1110, establishing the abbey as a significant religious center outside Winchester's city walls.
The abbey served as the final resting place for King Alfred the Great, his wife Ealhswith, and their son Edward the Elder until its dissolution.
Archaeological excavations continue at the site, revealing foundations and artifacts that provide information about the medieval religious complex's layout and functions.
The abbey grounds transformed into a prison after 1538, during which construction works disturbed the royal graves and scattered the historical remains.
