Hazleton Abbey

Last updated

Hazleton Abbey was an abbey at Hazleton in Gloucestershire, England.

It was formed in the 12th century. [1] [2] Monks from Kingswood Abbey bought the land after King Stephen had confiscated it from Reginald de Waleric. Ownership was disputed and Reginald de Waleric was ordered to found a Cistercian Abbey by the Pope and allowed the monks to return. A shortage of water meant that they later moved to Tetbury. It became crown land after the dissolution of the monasteries. [3]

The former Abbey barn survives. [4]

Hazelton Manor was built on the site in the 16th century. [5]

This later led to competition with the Guild of Bakers, who sought powers to levy a toll on loaves entering the City at Whitechapel.
