Bindon Abbey, Cistercian monastery ruins in Wool, England.
The stone ruins of Bindon Abbey display the standard Cistercian layout with a cruciform church, nave, two side aisles, and straight east end point.
Founded in 1149 by William de Glastonia, the monastery moved to Wool in 1172 through a land grant from Roger de Newburgh and Matilda de Glastonia.
The monastery operated under Cistercian principles until 1539, when it closed during the dissolution of monasteries under King Henry VIII's religious reforms.
Visitors need permission from current tenants to access the ruins, which include foundation stones and remaining walls from the original structure.
Between 1794 and 1798, a small Gothic house named Bindon Abbey House was constructed on the former abbey grounds, along with a gatehouse.
