Classification Historic Building

DescriptionHalesowen Abbey was an abbey in Halesowen, England of which only ruins remain.

The abbey was founded in 1215 by French monks under a grant from King John of England. The abbey became very wealthy and owned an extensive local estate but it was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 and its estates granted to John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. From that time on, and particularly during the industrial revolution, much of the fabric of the abbey was carried off as building material in the surrounding area. However, some standing structures remain, having been used as the framework of farm buildings.
