Delapré Abbey

Place

Delapré Abbey is a neo-classical mansion in Northampton, England, incorporating the remains of a Cluniac nunnery founded around 1145. Its grounds saw the Battle of Northampton in 1460 during the Wars of the Roses, and the body of Eleanor of Castile rested here in December 1290 on its journey from Lincoln to Westminster. The abbey surrendered to the Crown at the Dissolution in 1538. (Added as a stand-in to test the proximity feature while off-island; safe to delete afterwards.)
