Barlings Abbey in Lincolnshire is the remains of a Premonstratensian Abbey. It was founded in around 1154 by a local landowner named Ralph de Haya, with the first canons coming from Newsham Abbey near Grimsby. After the Lincolnshire Rising of 1536, the abbot and 6 of the canons were executed. The Lincolnshire Rising was a protest against Henry VIII's Dissolution of the monasteries.  At the time, Barlings was classed as one of the greater abbeys as it had an income of over £200 and was one of the wealthiest houses in Lincolnshire. The abbey was suppressed in 1537, lead was stripped from the roof and the Abbots books and other possessions were removed and sold.  The abbey fell into ruin with much of the stonework being used to build local farm houses. #barlingsabbey #barlings #lincolnshire #history #heritage #englishhistory #britishhistory #abbey #abbeyruins #premonstratensianabbey #outandaboutwithliz #lincolnshirerising #derelictplaces #ancientruins (at Barlings Abbey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6SVoClzOT/?igshid=1lnxenl440wfv
