Overview

History & significance

Site of Abbey Church is a scheduled ancient monument in Nottinghamshire representing the remains of a monastic church. The site marks the location of a religious establishment of medieval date, though the specific abbey to which it belonged and the precise chronology of its foundation and dissolution require reference to local documentary records and archaeological investigation. The monument survives as an earthwork or below-ground archaeological deposit rather than as standing structures, reflecting the typical fate of many English monastic sites following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. Its designation as a scheduled monument recognises its potential to yield further archaeological evidence concerning medieval monastic life and architecture in the region.
