A Brief History:
Waverley Abbey was built in 1128 by William Giffard, the Bishop of Winchester. The abbey was the first Cistercian abbey in England built along the River Wey in Surrey. Manual work was encouraged by the monks and they worked the land around them.
The abbey started with just 12 monks but by 1187 there were 70 monks and 120 lay brothers in residence.
In 1201 the abbey was flooded and this happened regularly which meant the abbey had to be rebuilt during the 13th century. The monks would also provided shelter for pilgrims and travellers and an infirmary for the sick.
Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 and the abbey was given to Sir William Fitzherbert, treasurer of the kings household, who dismantled the abbey and used the stone to build his house a few miles away.
The Abbey has been featured in many films & TV Series including Hot Fuzz, Elizabeth : The Golden Age, Creation, Into The Woods, The Mummy, The Huntsman: Winter’s War & 28 Days Later.
