St Mary's Abbey, Warwickshire

St Mary's Abbey (aka Kenilworth Abbey) is a ruined Augustinian monastery in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. The priory of Austin canons in Kenilworth, which had become an abbey by 1447, was founded by Godfrey de Clinton, chamberlain and treasurer to Henry I, in 1122 around the same time as he erected his castle in Kenilworth. The abbey was dismantled as part of the Dissolution. Extant masonry remains of several buildings survive in situ within the monastic precinct. These include a gatehouse, a barn and remnants of the church and cloister range. The monument is within the council area of Warwick (Warwickshire).
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1021079.
