The abbey acquired substantial holdings across North Somerset. In the fifteenth century the abbey&#8217;s finances seem to have improved, and the abbey buildings were substantially altered and renovated. Some alterations continued up to the suppression by Henry VIII&#8217;s officials in the 1530&#8217;s.<br \/>\nThe abbey church was demolished at the suppression, but other substantial buildings survive. The south and west ranges were converted into a private house, and later the site became a farm.<br \/>\nThe refectory (or hall) is the most notable feature, and a preserved pavement, a chamber with wall paintings and the refectory are also worthy of note.  Most of the evidence of occupation as farm and as cottages has been removed.<br \/>\nTravel: Parking on site. A station of the West Somerset heritage railway is nearby.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3540\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3540\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1276.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1276-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3540\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hall (refectory) roof<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3541\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1279.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1279-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3541\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Refectory wing<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_3542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3542\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1281.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1281-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3542\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiles<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure id=\"attachment_3543\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3543\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1282.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cleeve_1282-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3543\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiles<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English Heritage Cleeve Abbey was founded around 1198 as a daughter house of Revesby Abbey in Yorkshire, during the height of the Cistercian expansion.
