The Bulletin  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 72—No. 3744  

Wednesday, November 14, 1951  

Price 9dL  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.

FLAXLEY ABBEY, HOME OF SIR ROGER DE COVERLEY'S “WIDOW BOVEY”  

FLAXLEY ABBEY, situated near the village of Newnham, on the eastern  

boundary of the Royal Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire, has history  

dating from the twelfth century. It can be seen in the above picture behind  

the eighteenth-century Flaxley Church, which was designed by Sir Gilbert Scott.  

The Abbey incorporates parts of the original Cistercian Abbey rounded  

in 1146 by Roger, second son of the Earl of Hereford, in memory ot his  

father, who was killed on this very spot on Christmas Eve. He could hardly  

have chosen more delectable spot for the Abbey, as the monks_ described  

the vale as “fertile, good for fruit, suitable for grain, buried woods,  

abounding in springs, horn of plenty, place apart from the haunts of men.  

The woods surrounding the Abbey was favourite hunting ground of  

Norman and Plantagenet kings, who frequently stayed at Flaxley Abbey, It  

was particularly favoured by Henry (1100-1135) and by Henry (1154-1189),  

who bestowed certain privileges on the Abbey, such as itinerant forges, tithes  

for chestnuts, venison, grazing for cattle and tracts of woodland. AT first  

the Royal concern was mainly for the preservation of game cover, but in  

course of time the timber acquired new importance for shipbuilding and  

iron-smelting and, as the coalmining industry developed, for pit props. The  

monks of Flaxley Abbey were very busy iron-smelters, which was profitable  

business in those days.  

The remains of the original Abbey include grand hall, severely plain,  

according to Cistercian needs; vaulted rooms, one great archway, smaller  

doorway and various walls either in the house or in the private grounds.  

The Abbey also treasures two portraits of Catharine Bovey, charming  

young lady to whom long inscription may be seen in the church and who  

also earned by her generosity monument in Westminster Abbey. Married  

at 15 and widowed at 22, the rich young widow lived in her manor at Flaxley  

for another thirty-five years, and died here in 1726. The poor children of the  

Parish were educated at her expense, and, remembering that charity begins at  

home, she left money for rebuilding Flaxley Church and the endowment for  

the living. She was well known to Richard Steele, whom she entertained at  

Flaxley Abbey, and his recollections of her hospitality appear in his “Coverley  

Papers.”
