About our location: Following the Dissolution, part of the eastern range was remodelled for use as farm buildings, and the remnants of an old barn can be found in the south-east corner of the site. As with most medieval monasteries, Basingwerk had an interesting and colourful history. During the late 13th century, Edward I used the abbey as his base while he was building Flint Castle (about 4 miles away), and granted the monks many privileges for their loyalty.
