Bardney Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in the seventh century in Lincolnshire, England, which became one of the region's major religious houses. The site comprises substantial remains of the medieval abbey buildings alongside post-medieval additions, including a formal house and associated gardens constructed after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Fishponds situated within the precinct reflect the monastic economy and management of the landscape during the medieval period. The abbey declined after the Reformation, though elements of its estate continued to be developed and occupied into the post-medieval era, creating a complex palimpsest of religious and domestic occupation.
