Quarr Abbey is a ruined Cisterican monastery near Fishbourne, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. The abbey was founded in 1131 under Benedictine rule by Baldwin de Redvers, Lord of the Island, as a daughter house of Savigny. This site became a valuable and productive property. After the Dissolution, the land was acquired by a Southampton merchant, George Mills who demolished most of the abbey. The upstanding remains of buildings are the cellarium, parts of the kitchen and refectory or frater, a wood house, the warming room and parts of the undercroft of the monks dorter and infirmary chapel. A monastery of Benedictine monks, now also known as Quarr Abbey, was established in 1907 on the site of the neighbouring mid 18th-century Quarr Abbey House. The monument is within the council area of Isle of Wight.
