Buildwas Abbey, nr. Much Wenlock, Shropshire
Nestling on flat ground on the banks of the River Severn can be found the ruins of Buildwas Abbey. Buildwas was a Cistercian Monastery founded around 1135. Prospered and expanded over many years, but like all Monasteries suffered as a result of Henry VIII dissolution of Monasteries Act of 1536.
What is left is still worth exploring…
If you are out exploring this Sunday relaxing at home…..
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
