FACTS

Newstead Abbey...
Was originally an Augustinian priory founded by Henry II in about 1170.

In 1540 Henry VIII granted Newstead to the poet's ancestor, Sir John Byron.

Newstead Abbey retains its medieval character.

The most famous survival is the west front of the church, which dates from the late 13th century.

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.

It is the west front that you can see from here.
