Hood Abbey
Abbey in North Yorkshire, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hood Abbey was an abbey on the grounds of today's Hood Grange, North Yorkshire, England.[1] The abbey at Hood was known to be in existence as a hermitage since before 1138 when Roger de Mowbray granted it to a group of Savignian monks, who stayed for five years before relocating to Byland Abbey.[2] After this, it was inhabited by monks from the Bridlington area who came west to take over Roger de Mowbray's newest priory at Newburgh.[3]
The site was dissolved in the 16th century, and all that remains are two windows incorporated into one of the barns which now occupy the site.[4]
