  • Cleeve Abbey is a medieval monastery located near the village of Washford, in Somerset, England. It is a Grade I listed building and has been scheduled as an ancient monument. The abbey was founded in the late twelfth century as a house for monks of the austere Cistercian order. Over its 350-year monastic history Cleeve was undistinguished amongst the abbeys of its order, frequently ill-governed and often financially troubled. The sole member of the community to achieve prominence was John Hooper, who became a bishop during the Reformation. In 1536 Cleeve was closed by Henry VIII in the course of the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the abbey was converted into a country house. Subsequently, the status of the site declined and the abbey was used as farm buildings until the latter half of the nineteenth century when steps were taken to conserve the remains. In the twentieth century Cleeve was taken into state care; the abbey is now looked after by English Heritage and is open to the public. Today Cleeve Abbey is one of the best-preserved medieval Cistercian monastic sites in Britain. While the church is no longer standing, the conventual buildings are still roofed and habitable and contain many features of particular interest including the 'angel' roof in the refectory and the wall paintings in the painted chamber.

  • L'abbaye de Cleeve est un monastère cistercien situé proche du village de (en) en Somerset, Angleterre. L'abbaye a été fondée à la fin du XIIe siècle pour abriter des moines de l'ordre cistercien. Durant ses 350 années d'histoire monastiques Cleeve ne s'est pas particulièrement distinguée des autres abbayes de l'ordre, fréquemment mal régie et souvent en difficultés financières. L'unique membre de la communauté à obtenir une certaine reconnaissance fut John Hooper, qui devint évêque durant la Réforme. En 1536, Cleeve fut fermée par le roi Henri VIII pendant la Dissolution des monastères et l'abbaye fut convertie en une maison de campagne. L'état du site s'est alors rapidement détérioré puis l'édifice fut utilisé comme bâtiments de ferme jusqu'à la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle où des mesures ont été prises pour conserver les ruines. Au XXe siècle, Cleeve a été prise en main par l'English Heritage et est maintenant ouverte au public. Rien ne subsiste aujourd'hui de l'église, mais les bâtiments conventuels sont toujours couverts et habitables et possèdent des éléments dignes d'intérêt tels que les fresques murales ou le toit du réfectoire dit « de l'ange ».
