The Benedictine monastery was largely destroyed following the Dissolution.  Still standing are the impressive remains of the nave west front with the present church, Croyland Abbey, being the north aisle.

The church has a huge west window, and a graceful interior with a vaulted roof.

Somewhat confusingly, Croyland Abbey is in the market town of Crowland.

The Benedictine Abbey was founded by King Ethelbald in 713 in memory of St Guthlac. It was dissolved in 1539.

The north aisle now serves as the parish church.

These bells were the first in the country to be broadcast live by the BBC, in 1925.
