History
Beaulieu Abbey was founded in 1204 by Cistercian monks on land given to them by King John. Although much was destroyed at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of Henry VIII, there is still much for visitors to see today.
The Domus, once the lay brothers’ refectory, houses an exhibition of monastic life prior to the Abbey’s purchase by Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton in 1538. Visitors can view a series of modern embroidered wall hangings depicting scenes from medieval monastic life and the history of the Abbey since 1204. The Abbey Cloister is a place of tranquillity, planted with fragrant herbs.
In medieval times, when the Abbey was an important Cistercian monastery, the monks would have provided hospitality to visitors. Indeed, by the 15th century when the monks’ numbers had dwindled, the Domus was adapted to accommodate important guests.

A self confessed super fan of Most Haunted and editor of GhostMag.com. Matt’s passion for ghost hunting began when he moved into a haunted house in his second year of university in Leicester! His favourite location is the Niddry Street Vaults in Edinburgh.
i watched the most haunted episode on this and was genuinely scared. the alarms kept going off by themselves and derek was picking up alot of activity and energies on the stairs and in the domus where the audience was situated. one lady in particular felt something brush her arm, yet the chair next to her was empty. and when a group of people took a photo outside there was a monk kneeling by a grave and derek could sense that there was a lady on the stairs. this is one episode you have GOT to watch!
