Croxden Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery dating to the 12th century. It was founded in 1176 at Cotton, but the monks moved here to Croxden in 1179. Bertram de Verdun, Lord of Alton, founded the abbey for monks from the Norman abbey of Aunay-sur-Odon. The church took over seven decades to build and was finished in 1254.
