Denny Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in the early twelfth century in Cambridgeshire, which later became a Franciscan house in the thirteenth century. The site retains substantial remains of the abbey church and associated monastic buildings, including the impressive refectory range which demonstrates the scale and permanence of the medieval religious community. The abbey was dissolved at the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the buildings were converted to domestic and agricultural use. The surviving structures, now managed as a heritage site, provide important evidence for monastic life and architecture in medieval East Anglia.
