Meaux Cistercian Abbey is a twelfth-century monastic site located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, founded as a Cistercian house in 1150. The abbey, situated near Beverley, became one of the significant religious establishments in the region during the medieval period, following the austere observances characteristic of the Cistercian order. Though now fragmentary, the earthworks and archaeological remains preserve evidence of the abbey's layout and former extent. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the buildings were gradually demolished and the lands converted to agricultural use.
