Tavistock Abbey, also known as the
Abbey of Saint Mary and Saint Rumon, is a
ruined Benedictine abbey in
Tavistock, Devon. Nothing remains of the abbey except the refectory, two gateways and a porch. The abbey church, dedicated to
Our Lady and St Rumon, was destroyed by
Danish raiders in 997 and rebuilt under
Lyfing, the second abbot. The church was further rebuilt in 1285 and the greater part of the abbey between 1457 and 1458.
