Alcester Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in the mid-12th century in Warwickshire. The abbey was established around 1150 and developed into a significant religious and economic centre, with substantial lands and considerable influence in the region. The surviving remains include fragmentary stonework and earthworks indicative of the claustral layout typical of Benedictine houses of the period. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the 16th century, and much of the stone was subsequently robbed for reuse, leaving only archaeological traces of its former extent and importance.
