Darnhall Abbey was a late-thirteenth century abbey in Cheshire, founded by King Edward I sometime in the years around 1270. This was in thanks, so tells the Abbey's chronicler, of God saving him and his fleet from a storm at sea. It only existed for a short time before it moved to the better-known Vale Royal Abbey. The site chosen for the Abbey at Darnhall was discovered to be unfit for its purpose. Money was short, as the King did not provide enough for the original foundation, but the Abbey was allowed to trade wool to augment its finances. The Abbey relocated a few miles north, and what remained of Darnhall Abbey became the monastic grange of the new foundation. There was probably only ever one Abbot of Darhall before the Abbey relocated in 1273.
