Bordesley Abbey, Medieval abbey ruins in Redditch, England.
The stone remnants of Bordesley Abbey spread across the banks of the River Arrow, displaying the structural elements of Cistercian architecture.
Founded in 1138 during The Anarchy period, Bordesley Abbey operated until 1538 when Henry VIII ordered its closure during the Dissolution of Monasteries.
The abbey grounds contain the burial site of Guy de Beauchamp, the 10th Earl of Warwick, reflecting its status among English nobility.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through the Forge Mill Needle Museum, which provides guided tours and historical interpretation of the ruins.
Archaeological excavations since 1969 revealed an advanced water management system with mills that supported the abbey's industrial activities.
