Poulton Abbey was a Cistercian medieval monastic house in Poulton, Cheshire, England, which was founded between 1153 and 1158, and moved in 1214 to a site near Leek, Staffordshire, where it became Dieulacres Abbey.
In 1487 the abbey leased the estate to the prominent Manley family and the chapel was expanded to include a nave, chancel, and tower for use as its private chapel.
Evaluation trenches and geophysical investigations have also found an extensive Iron Age settlement and Roman landscape.
The investigation determined that the site was probably the location of the grange buildings, but not the Abbey itself.
