Brief description

"Once rich, and powerful, and beautiful, St Mary’s Abbey Kenilworth has been reduced to sparse ruins by King Henry VIII and nearly four centuries of neglect. Nevertheless, its spirit lives on in the life of 21st century Kenilworth."

"The remains of St Mary's Abbey, of KenilworthWarwickshireEngland are situated in the grounds of St Nicholas' Church and in an adjacent area of Abbey Fields. Some of its ruins are above ground and some are below ground."

"St. Mary's Abbey in Kenilworth is connected to St. Nicholas Church in Abbey Fields through their shared history and location. The abbey, founded in 1119 as a priory, was dissolved during the Reformation, but the church, with origins in the 12th century, still stands within the park. The abbey and the church were closely connected for centuries, with the church originally under the patronage of the Prior of Kenilworth Priory"
