Notley Abbey is a ruined Augustinian monastery founded in the twelfth century in Buckinghamshire. The abbey was dissolved during the Reformation in 1538, after which its lands and buildings passed into private ownership. Substantial remains of the monastic buildings survive, including fragments of the church and claustral structures that attest to the scale and importance of the establishment. An associated post-Dissolution dovecote, likely constructed during the sixteenth century from materials derived from the abbey buildings, stands as evidence of the site's subsequent conversion to agricultural use.
