Wendling Abbey is a Premonstratensian abbey located near Wendling in Norfolk, founded in the twelfth century as a house of regular canons. The abbey was established by royal patronage and became a substantial religious foundation, accumulating considerable landed estates across Norfolk and neighbouring counties during the medieval period. The site retains fragmentary remains of the monastic structures, including sections of flint and stone walling that testify to the scale of the original buildings. The abbey was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the site was gradually dismantled and its materials repurposed, though archaeological deposits and buried foundations continue to survive beneath the present landscape.
