Description
Abbeydore: The foundation of the Abbey of Dore began in 1147
by the Cistercians. Suppressed in 1535, it fell into
disrepair and was serving as a cattle shed when John,
Viscount Scudamore began its repair in 1632. John Abel,
later King's Carpenter, worked on the screen. Re-consecrated
in 1634, St. Mary's is one of the very few English parish
churches of Cistercian origin regularly used for worship. A
delightful place to visit and home to the Dore Abbey Musical
Festival and other events throughout the year.
