Tupholme Abbey, Lincolnshire

Tupholme Abbey is a ruined Premonstratensian monastery near Bucknall, Lincolnshire, in the Parts of Lindsey. The monastery was founded around 1155-65 on land granted by Alan and Gilbert de Neville. Tupholme was a relatively small establishment of up to 12 canons. The abbey was dissolved in 1536. Thereafter the site was occupied by a country house, demolished around the beginning of the 18th century and replaced in the 19th century by cottages and a farmhouse, themselves dismantled in 1986. The monument includes the earthworks and standing remains of mediæval and post-mediæval buildings, ponds, ditches and associated features. The centre of the monument is occupied by the standing remains of the south wall of the abbey's refectory. The monument is within the council area of East Lindsey (Lincolnshire).
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1017403.
