GB - SHROPSHIRE: Haughmond Abbey
Haughmond Abbey, which is sometimes referred to as the Abbey of St John the Evangelist, is located only four miles outside of Shrewsbury and of the three houses of Austin canons established in Shropshire, Haughmond founded in 1135 by William Fitzalan, is the older. The Abbey is set in a beautiful setting on the sloping site of Haughmond Hill which is well tread and shows impressive remains. The colouring of the mellowed stone against the green of the lawns and the trees make the remains particularly lovely. The ruins includes parts of the chapter house, refectory and the latter infirmary of the 14th century, but only the foundations of the abbey church.
