The abbey has a long history stretching back to 1201 when founded by William Brewer. The land was granted to the Cistercian order in the parish of Dunkeswell. It is an ancient monument of national importance which has recently fallen upon bad times and is in great need of a cash injection to restore this beautiful abbey to its once majestic glory.
