Lilleshall Abbey, Augustinian abbey ruins in Shropshire, England
The stone ruins of Lilleshall Abbey display large architectural elements, including a processional doorway and remaining sections of the church structure with gallery level access.
Founded in 1148, Lilleshall Abbey operated until 1538 when Henry VIII ordered its closure during the widespread suppression of English monasteries.
The Augustinian canons at Lilleshall Abbey maintained religious services, managed extensive agricultural estates, and provided education to local communities through their parish duties.
Visitors can access the abbey from April to October through a kissing gate, with limited parking at the entrance and alternative parking requiring a 250-meter walk.
The abbey operated a pension system called Corrody, exchanging lifetime care and shelter for property donations, which eventually contributed to its financial difficulties.
