View E of the site of St Guthlac's cell outside the S aisle of the ruined nave of Croyland Abbey church, Lincolnshire, England, UK. Norman W front of S aisle displays remains of a stepped plinth with four tiers of blind arcading. Abbey founded 716 on the site of the cell of Guthlac, a monk of Repton who retreated to the Fens to live as a hermit. Destroyed by Danes in 870, rebuilt in C10th & later by Normans, destroyed in the C12th by earthquakes & fire followed by more disasters & rebuilds. After being re-founded by Richard II (1377-99), Croyland grew into a large & important abbey surrendered to Henry VIII, 4 December 1539: the nave & two aisles were retained as the parish church, the rest demolished. Fortified by Royalists in the Civil War & battered with artillery by Roundheads. After the nave roof collapsed only the N aisle was retained as the parish church.
