Location: Holme Abbey, Allerdale, Cumbria, North West England, England, United Kingdom
Founded in 1150 by the Cistercian Monks of Melrose Abbey, Holme Cultram Abbey was once much larger than the building that is left today. In fact, it was once bigger than Carlisle Cathedral itself. However, following the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538 the monks departed. Today the building survives as the parish church for Abbeytown.
