Founded in 1136 by Miles of Gloucester for Augustinian canons fleeing from Llanthony Priory in the Black Mountains, which had been overrun by the Welsh. 'A splendid green oasis amidst seedy industrial development' says Pevsner, although in 2014 the green oasis is an unofficial playing field for neighbouring Gloucestershire College. A few scanty remains include this portion of the central range between the inner and outer courts. There is no sign of the magnificent abbey church, but this large 16th century stable block survives.
