Haughmond Abbey, Medieval Augustinian abbey ruins in Uffington, England
The abbey complex includes preserved walls, archways, and detailed carvings, with a chapter house containing sculptures from the 12th and 14th centuries.
Founded in 1200 and dissolved in 1539 during Henry VIII's reformation, the abbey received support from the FitzAlan family and housed Augustinian canons for centuries.
The monastery followed strict Augustinian traditions, maintaining an important library and serving as a regional center for religious education and manuscript production.
Open daily from April to October between 10 AM and 6 PM, and from November to March between 10 AM and 4 PM, with free entry and parking.
The timber roof of the chapter house, constructed around 1500, represents late medieval craftsmanship through its ornate wooden beams and architectural details.
