About Burnham Abbey
Religion, Monasteries, Interesting Places
Burnham Abbey was a house of Augustinian Canonesses Regular near Burnham in Buckinghamshire, England. It was founded by Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall. The monastery consisted of around twenty nuns at the outset, but was never especially wealthy and by the time of its dissolution in 1539 there were only ten.
Since 1916 the surviving buildings have been the home of an Anglican contemplative community, the Society of the Precious Blood who retain the name "Burnham Abbey".
