LILLESHALL ABBEY | A Prestigious ABBEY Besieged During the CIVIL WAR of 1642 | Walking Tour

Описание: Lilleshall Abbey, located in Shropshire, England, has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Founded in 1148 by Richard de Belmeis, the abbey was initially a Cistercian monastery before later becoming a house of Augustinian canons.

Throughout its existence, Lilleshall Abbey played a significant role in the religious and social landscape of medieval England. The abbey's fortunes fluctuated over the centuries, experiencing periods of prosperity as well as challenges. Like many monastic institutions, Lilleshall Abbey fell victim to the dissolution of the monasteries initiated by King Henry VIII in the 16th century, leading to its closure in 1538.

The abbey's buildings were subsequently repurposed, and today, the ruins of Lilleshall Abbey stand as a testament to its once-vibrant history, attracting visitors interested in exploring the remnants of this medieval religious site.
