Denny Abbey is a medieval monastic site located in Cambridgeshire, founded in the early twelfth century as a Benedictine monastery and later occupied by the Franciscan order. The abbey was subsequently converted to use as a farmhouse after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, resulting in significant alterations to its physical fabric. The surviving structures include the remains of the abbey church and associated monastic buildings, which demonstrate the transition between different periods of occupation and use. The site is now in the custody of English Heritage and remains an important example of medieval religious architecture and the post-Dissolution adaptation of monastic properties in East Anglia.
