Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire

Hailes Abbey was once a Cistercian abbey founded in 1246 by Richard of Cornwall and dissolved on Christmas Eve 1539. Now all that remains of the abbey are a few low arches in a meadow with outlines in the grass and outside, and a small church - Hailes Church, which is actually older than the abbey and features Medieval paintings on its walls inside.

Hailes Abbey never housed large numbers of monks but had extensive and elaborate buildings which were financed by pilgrims when it became a site of pilgrimage when Richard's son Edmund donated to the Cistercian community a phial of the Holy Blood, purchased in Germany, in 1270. Hailes Abbey is financed, managed and maintained by English Heritage.
