Eynsham Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in the tenth century in Oxfordshire. The abbey was established around 1005 by Æthelred the Unready and became one of the significant religious houses in the region during the medieval period. The site today survives as earthworks and fragmentary remains of the former monastic buildings, reflecting its substantial medieval layout. The abbey was dissolved during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, after which the site fell into decline.
