Stanley Abbey

Princess Mary, the bishop of Salisbury and Edward II were all reported to have stayed at the abbey during the first years of the fourteenth century.

[2] Nothing now remains in situ except a green site on private property, but access may be obtained to visit it from Old Abbey Farm.

At the dissolution the land passed into the possession of Sir Edward Baynton, who plundered the materials to build his manor house at Bromham.

[4] At various times since, remains such as burial places and a blacksmith's forge, as well as coins and tiles, have been found.

[5] Harold Brakspear's 1905 excavation discovered the layout of the monastery, including the church, infirmary and a dovecote.
