BUILDWAS ABBEY,  

WHERE BENEDICTINE MONKS  

ONCE STRODE  

TTHE ancient and picturesque ruins of  

Buildwas Abbey stand on the bank  

of the Severn, near Much Wenlock and  

Bridgnorth. The Abbey was founded  

on August 8, 1135, on site given by the  

local diocesan, Roger de Clinton, Bishop  

of Coventry and Lichfield.  

The original foundation was for the  

Benedictine monks of the Order of  

Savigney—an order which originated in  

Normandy and whose adherents believed  

in literal and strict observance of the  

Rule of St. Benedict. In later years,  

however, the monastery at Buildwas  

joined the Cistercian Order, and owing to  

its importance it administered other  

foundations in Wales and Ireland.  

The peace of Buildwas was disturbed  

in 1328 when the abbot was murdered by  

monk who had turned apostate, roam-  

ing the country in lay dress and who  

managed to elude all efforts to arrest  

him. What happened to him is not  

recorded, but the murder of the abbot  

was followed by dispute over the elec-  

tion of successor, as there were two  

claimants for the vacant office, and con-  

sequently the abbey suffered from  

neglect.  

In the fourteenth century Buildwas  

Abbey suffered from the attacks of the  

Welsh marauders, who, on one occasion,  

were led by Owen Glendower. The later  

history of the Abbey was uneventful, and  

in 1536, during the reign of Henry VIII,  

it followed the fate of the lesser monas-  

teries and was surrendered to the Crown.  

The annual income of the Abbey at that  

time was one hundred and eleven  

pounds, which was derived from landed  

possessions in and around Buildwas, and  

from revenue derived from the toll paid  

passengers over the bridge which  

spans the Severn near the monastery.
