Its site is within the Grimsthorpe Castle park, in Lincolnshire, 3.7 miles (6 km) northwest of Bourne on the A151, but there are no remains of the Abbey aside from earthworks.
This new site was named Latin: Vallis Dei (Valley of God), or "Vaudey" in the vernacular.
However, by the end of the thirteenth century the abbey was experiencing financial difficulties and the number of monks had likely fallen.
[2] Stephen of Sawley, abbot of Fountains, died in 1252 while conducting a visitation of Vaudey and was buried in the chapter house.
In 1539, Henry VIII granted Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk the lands of Vaudey Abbey, and he used its stone as building material for his new house.
