MenuSt Marys Abbey, Yorkshire
St Marys Abbey is a ruined Benedictine abbey in York, Yorkshire. It lies outside the city walls, in the North Riding. It was founded around 1086 when Count Alan Rufus granted St Olave's Church to a community of Benedictine monks. It grew to be one of the most prosperous abbeys in northern England. Following the Dissolution, it was substantially destroyed. The remains comprise the north and west walls; the half-timbered Pilgrims' Hospitium; the West Gate and the 14th-century timber-framed Abbot's House (the King's Manor). The remains lie in what is now the York Museum Gardens, created in the 1830s by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. The monument is within the council area of York.
