St Mary's Abbey is a site of an ancient Benedictine monastery located in Gloucestershire, England. The abbey was founded in the medieval period and operated as a religious community until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The surviving remains consist of fragmentary masonry and earthworks that indicate the former presence of monastic buildings on the site. Today the scheduled monument preserves evidence of this important ecclesiastical establishment, though only foundations and scattered stone features remain visible above ground.
