Abbeys and Monasteries in Nottinghamshire

Mattersey Priory is a ruined medieval Gilbertine monastery situated on the River Idle in peaceful Nottinghamshire countryside. The Gilbertines were the only completely English order of monks, and Mattersey is one of the few examples of a Gilbertine monastic site. The remains include parts of the priory church, a 15th-century tower, the 13th-century refectory and priory kitchen.

Rufford Abbey consists of the partial remains of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey, incorporated into a 17th-century mansion. Unusually, the monastic buildings were complete by 1170 and remained practically unaltered until the abbey was suppressed by Henry VIII in 1537. The abbey and mansion stand within Rufford Country Park.
