Newstead Abbey

Newstead Abbey is a beautiful historic house set in a glorious landscape of gardens and parkland within the heart of Nottinghamshire, England. Founded as a monastic house in the late twelfth century, Newstead became the seat of the Byron family in 1540.

Sir John Byron and his successors kept much of the monastic structure and layout so that, to this day, the house retains its medieval character. The most famous survival is the west front of the church, which dates from the late 13th century, with its statue of St Mary, to whom the priory was dedicated.

The property has beautiful ornate gardens that visitors can explore at their leisure and this unique location is available for those who are planning functions and weddings. Gain an insight into the lives of the landed gentry.
