Hailes Abbey, belonging to the Cistercian Order, was founded on 5 November 1246 and dissolved on Christmas Eve 1539. For almost 300 years prior to this, monastic life continued in a community whose numbers, according to record, never exceeded 25 monks – this despite the large scale of the buildings.

Sculptures, stonework, and other finds from the site can be viewed in the museum and an audio tour allows you to learn even more about the site.
