Everything about Halesowen Abbey totally explained
Halesowen Abbey was an
abbey in
Halesowen,
England of which only ruins remain. It was located in an
exclave of the
historic county of
Shropshire until 1844. In that year Halesowen was transferred to
Worcestershire and then in 1974 to the new
West Midlands county.
The abbey was founded in
1215 by
Premonstratensian canons under a grant from King
John of England and went on to develop close connections with
Titchfield Abbey in
Hampshire. The abbey became very wealthy and owned an extensive local estate but it was suppressed during the
Dissolution of the Monasteries in
1538 and its estates granted to
John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. From that time on, and particularly during the
industrial revolution, much of the fabric of the abbey was carried off as building material in the surrounding area. However, some standing structures remain, having been used as the framework of farm buildings.
