Stoneleigh Abbey, Nr Kenilworth

Kenilworth, Warwick

Founded in 1154 by a group of Cistercian monks, Stoneleigh Abbey reflects a rich mix of more than 800 years of history. The estate was the home of the Leigh family from 1561 until the late twentieth century.

Many famous people have connections with the Abbey: Charles I was entertained here when the gates of Coventry were closed against him, Jane Austen stayed at the Abbey and uses descriptions of its grand interiors and gardens in two of her novels, and in 1858 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert stayed at Stoneleigh.
