The ruins of St. Mary's Abbey. Once the richest abbey in England. It was destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII.

This benedictine abbey was built in the early 12th century.

The Hospitalum (guest house) for the abbey survives. You can rent it for weddings or Barbeques. (The sign on the door says so.)
