Cleeve Abbey
Cleeve Abbey is a medieval monastery located near the village of Washford, in Somerset, England. It is a Grade I listed building and has been scheduled as an ancient monument.

In the twentieth century Cleeve was taken into state care; the abbey is now looked after by English Heritage and is open ...
