Croxton Abbey is a Premonstratensian monastery founded in the mid-twelfth century in Leicestershire. The abbey was established circa 1160 and operated until its dissolution in 1539 during the Reformation. Today the site comprises fragmentary remains including earthworks and buried archaeological deposits, with the scale and layout of the monastic complex partially discernible through surface features and excavation records. The abbey represents an important example of the Premonstratensian order's presence in the East Midlands and reflects the medieval religious landscape before the Dissolution.
