Whalley Abbey
The North-east Gatehouse of Whalley Abbey in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire
This gatehouse was built in 1480, just 57 years before the abbey was dissolved.
Whalley Abbey was founded in 1296 by Cistercian monks who abandoned their flooded abbey in Stanlaw on the Wirral Peninsula. The abbey was destroyed in 1537 as part of the dissolution of the monasteries and Abbot Paslew was executed for high treason for his part in events connected with the Pilgrimage of Grace.
Small admission charge.
Grade 1 listed.
