HISTORY OF CROXDEN ABBEY

Croxden Abbey was begun in 1179 after Bertram de Verdun, an important local nobleman, granted land to a community of Cistercian monks in 1176.
At its peak in the 13th century, Croxden housed about 70 monks.
Following the monastery’s suppression in 1538 the abbey and its lands were converted into a farm.
The visible remains today include parts of the abbey church, which was one of the most elaborate churches of any Cistercian abbey in England, together with the infirmary and abbot’s lodging.
