Hagnaby Abbey

Last updated

Hagnaby Abbey was an abbey and former priory in Hagnaby, Lincolnshire, England. It was one of nine Premonstratensian houses within the historical county.

It was founded as a house for Premonstratensian canons around 1175, by Agnes, widow of Herbert de Orreby. [1] The priory was a dependency of Welbeck Abbey and named in honour of Saint Thomas the Martyr. [1]

It achieved its independence and abbey status in 1250, [2] and appears from surviving records to have been well run. [1]

Hagby Abbey was suppressed in 1536, [2] its last abbot being Edmund Toft. [1] It is an ancient scheduled monument. [3]

Tupholme Abbey was a Premonstratensian abbey close to the River Witham some 10.5 miles (16.9 km) east of the city of Lincoln, England and one of nine such abbeys within the historical county. The Witham valley in Lincolnshire is notable for its high concentration of monasteries—there were six on the east bank and three on the west—all presumably drawn to the area by the usefulness of the River Witham for transport and by the wealth that it transported. The abbey was largely destroyed by 1538, after being seized during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries.
