Warwickshire’s Best Kept Secret Stoneleigh Abbey

The graded I listed home was founded in 1154 by the Cistercians, however the only remains of the original Abbey buildings is the 14th-century Gatehouse. In 1558 Lord Mayor of London Sir Thomas Leigh acquired the estate and a house was built on the site of the monastic buildings.


Between 1714 & 1726 the four-story fifteen-bay west win was designed by impressive architect Francis Smith of Warwick.


After many tragic events including a fire in 1960, the house was left in a run-down state and was later sold to a preservation charitable trust. This gave the abbey a new lease of life for future generations to create ever lasting memories.

Within the Abbey’s west wing, we have three stunning rooms to offer for your special day. The Saloon, The Vaulted Hall, and The Gilt Hall. These rooms offer a capacity between 60 to 120 guests. Ideal for wedding ceremonies and drink reception.

A Royal Reception The Orangery

The Orangery at Stoneleigh Abbey in 1809 after being proposed by Humphy Repton to Lord Leigh. Fruit trees, such as Orange, lemon and lime were housed in the orangery during the cold winter months. Exotic plants were also housed in the Orangery.


Orangeries became a symbol of status among the wealthy, the orangery was not just a green house, but a symbol of prestige and wealth. For that more modern feeling, the restored Orangery is fantastic for a drinks reception that looks out over the River Avon and beautiful parkland.
