  Croxden Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Croxden Abbey was a Cistercian abbey at Croxden, Staffordshire, England.
In 1179, Bertram de Verdun, the lord of the manor of Croxden, endowed a site for a new abbey, and 12 monks arrived from the Savigniac Cistercian mother house of Aulnay-sur-Odon in Normandy to build the new abbey over the next 50 years.
It was known as the "Abbey of the Vale of St. Mary at Croxden".

 Croxden Abbey
Croxden Abbey was one of the later Cistercian foundations and, as such, the architecture was noticeably less austere than the first monasteries built by this strict Order.
Croxden Abbey, although conforming to the standard late Cistercian plan, was relatively compact and there appears to have been no more than 12 monks living at the monastery throughout its history.
Thankfully, for now, Croxden Abbey remains undisturbed by traffic and crowds, and it is only the discerning 'abbey seekers' that will be delightfully rewarded by locating this tranquil place.

 BBC Staffordshire - 360° Staffordshire - Croxden Abbey
The history of Croxden Abbey may be fairly uneventful but it remains a magnificent symbol of the history of Britain.
Although it was considered to be relatively compact compared to other monasteries, Croxden Abbey did incorporate some elements of architectural design which were more elegant and sumptuous.
Sadly for the monasteries, the monks who inhabited them were seen as 'the great standing army of Rome' which effectively sealed their fate as Henry didn't want such a potentially powerful group affecting the country's politics.

 "Staffordshire Monasticism
A further consequence of the French revival had been the foundation of the Savigniac Order of "Grey Monks." In 1133 a house of the order was set up at Combermere in Cheshire.
Thus it was as a Cistercian house, that Combermere Abbey set up daughter houses in Leek (Dieulacres) in 1214 after a failed attempt to colonize the estuary of the Dee, and Hulton in 1218.
The Cistercian abbeys of Croxden, Dieulacres and Hulton engaged extensively in agriculture and various business enterprises over the next centuries, and played a major role in local affairs.
