Site of Louth Park Abbey: aerial 2023 A Cistercian Abbey founded in 1139, as a daughter-house of Fountains Abbey. The monks at Fountains were approached by Bishop Alexander of Lincoln in 1137, who initially offered them land at Haverholme, near Sleaford. This land proved unsuitable for the monks' needs, however, and new land was offered by Alexander in 1139, in his parkland near Louth. Water was brought to the site by an aqueduct known as the Monks' Dyke, some two miles long. The only parts above ground are bits of two bays of the east end of the church, built of chalk rubble with facing (very little left) of sandstone or chalk.
