Lavendon Abbey is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a Premonstratensian abbey, associated fishponds, and medieval field systems at Lavendon Grange in Buckinghamshire. The abbey was founded in the twelfth century as part of the Premonstratensian order's expansion in England, and the site reflects the characteristic monastic landscape with its water management infrastructure designed to support both sustenance and the monastic economy. The fishponds and surrounding field patterns remain visible as earthworks, preserving evidence of the medieval agricultural organisation that supported the religious community. The site was recorded as a scheduled monument in recognition of its archaeological and historical importance as a surviving example of monastic settlement and land use in medieval Buckinghamshire.
