Rewley Abbey, Scheduled monument in Oxford, England
The remaining sections of Rewley Abbey include a medieval wall and a fifteenth-century gateway near the terminus of the Oxford Canal.
Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, established Rewley Abbey in 1281 as a center for Cistercian education, starting with six monks from the order.
The abbey functioned as a specialized training center where Cistercian monasteries sent their members to study until the establishment of Bernard College.
Visitors can observe the architectural remnants of the abbey while exploring the surrounding area near the Oxford Canal terminus.
The stones from the demolished abbey were repurposed to strengthen the foundation of St Mary Magdalen's Church in Oxford.
