Delapré Abbey

Far Cotton and Delapre, United Kingdom · built 1101

Delapré Abbey is a neo-classical mansion in Northampton, England. The mansion and outbuildings incorporate remains of a former monastery, the Abbey of St Mary de la Pré (the suffix meaning "in or of the Meadow"), near the River Nene, 1 mile (1.6 km) south southeast of the centre of Northampton. It was founded as a nunnery about the year 1145 devoted to the congregation of the major Abbey of Cluny in Burgundy, France. The Abbey's expansive sloping grounds were the site of the Battle of Northampton (1460) in the Wars of the Roses and are a registered battlefield.
