Kirkstead history
Kirkstead has its origins in a Cistercian monastery, Kirkstead Abbey. It was founded in 1139 by Hugh Brito, lord of Tattershall and colonised by an abbot and twelve monks from Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. The abbey remained in existence until 1537, when it was dissolved and Richard Harrison and three of his monks were executed by King Henry VIII. The church of St Leonard’s Without stands in a field by the side of the ruins of the abbey.
