Hazleton Abbey

Hazleton Abbey was an abbey at Hazleton in Gloucestershire, England.

It was formed in the 12th century.[1][2] Monks from Kingswood Abbey bought the land after King Stephen had confiscated it from Reginald de Waleric. Ownership was disputed and Reginald de Waleric was ordered to found a Cistercian Abbey by the Pope and allowed the monks to return. A shortage of water meant that they later moved to Tetbury. It became crown land after the dissolution of the monasteries.[3]

The former Abbey barn survives.[4]

Hazelton Manor was built on the site in the 16th century.[5]
