HODs – Architecture and History of Crowland Abbey

Part of the Lincolnshire HODs Festival 2022

Crowland Abbey is steeped in history and legends. An abbey has stood on the site since 716 and some remaining parts date back to Norman times. The original north aisle of the monastery church is intact and ruins of the original nave enable the visitor to imagine its original splendour. Whether your interests lie in architecture, history, the church or people you will find something here to interest you. The Tower/Belfry tours require climbing a narrow, steep spiral staircase so requires a good level of fitness.

Guides are available who will tell you of the history and stories associated with the building and there is a visitor centre.
