An innovative place of peace, contemplation and reflection for everyone. Situated within the conserved churchyard of the beautiful historic church of All Saints, Easton on the Hill, and just off the Jurassic Way, it is a free and fascinating destination, along with the nearby Priests House. Come and walk the labyrinth in peace.

Crowland Abbey is steeped in history and legends. An abbey has stood on the site since 716 and some remaining parts date back to Norman times. The original north aisle of the monastery church is intact (now the parish church) and ruins of the original Nave enable the visitor to imagine its original splendour. Whether your interests lie in architecture, history, the church, or people you will find something here to interest you. Guides are usually available who will tell you of the history and stories associated with the building and an interesting visitor centre has recently been introduced. Self-guided tours are available and, if you are bringing children, let them try our children's trails/quizzes that will keep them entertained.
I came here with a group of schoolchildren to learn about the abbey, its history and the broader history of the Church in England. We were welcomed with the most wonderful spread of refreshments and a veritable host of engaging and knowledgeable guides drawn from, I believe, the local community. Their hospitality and engagement with us was something truly wonderful. This is to say nothing, of course, about the building itself, which is full of interesting curiosities both within the remaining coherent structure and amongst the ruins. There is a brilliant and informative exhibition at the west end of the nave as well, as well as an intact original chancel screen (with some later restorations). I hope to return to Crowland next summer with the next incarnation of our trip!

Well worth a visit to the huge historic cathedral with an excellent tour fuide with a tour lasting around 1 hr. 15 minutes included in the price of £6.40 per person concession price. There are roof tours as well which we did not have time to try.
Built in 1200, the Beonna at all Saints was a very large church serving the village of Benington, Lincolnshire. Adapted and changed over the years, it closed as a church in 2003. Following the formation of the Benington Community Heritage Trust in 2007, the Trust worked to secure £2.3m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and other supporters to perform a restoration project to the building. The Beonna at All Saints, as it is now known, is a sensitively restored building and is now the newest heritage, community and events venue in Lincolnshire. From weddings to parties, conferences to community events, the Beonna at all Saints is the ideal venue for any events you have in mind. Bookings are now open and we look forward to welcoming you at the Beonna soon.
