Coggeshall Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1148 in Essex, established as a daughter house of Boxley Abbey in Kent. The abbey flourished during the medieval period as one of England's significant Cistercian foundations, known for its wool production and agricultural enterprises. Today the site preserves substantial remains including parts of the abbatial buildings and the distinctive red brick Tudor barn, which dates from the sixteenth century and represents one of the finest surviving examples of medieval agricultural architecture. The abbey was dissolved during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s, after which the site passed into secular ownership and much of the monastic church and claustral ranges were dismantled.
