Meaux Abbey, Cistercian monastery ruins in Wawne, England
The remains of Meaux Abbey include stone foundations and earthworks that outline the former monastic complex near Kingston upon Hull.
William le Gros, Earl of Albemarle, established Meaux Abbey in 1151 as a center of religious life and agricultural development in Yorkshire.
The chronicles written by Abbot Thomas Burton provide detailed records of medieval monastic practices and daily life within the abbey walls.
Visitors can access the archaeological site from the village of Wawne, where informational panels explain the layout of the former buildings.
The stones from the demolished abbey were used to construct the defensive walls of Kingston upon Hull after its closure in 1539.
