Cockersand Premonstratensian Abbey is a ruined religious house located near the River Cocker in Lancashire, founded in the twelfth century as a community of Premonstratensian canons regular. The abbey, established around 1190, became a significant religious centre during the medieval period and maintained substantial landholdings across Lancashire and beyond. Today the site preserves fragmentary remains of the monastic buildings, including elements of the precinct wall and scattered stonework that attest to its former importance. The abbey was dissolved during the Reformation, and its ruins, situated in an isolated location on the Fylde coast, have survived as archaeological evidence of medieval monastic life in north-west England.
