Capel-y-ffin Monastery

Llanigon, United Kingdom

Llanthony Abbey is a former Anglican monastic institution founded in 1869 by Joseph Leycester Lyne (Father Ignatius), in the Welsh village of Capel-y-ffin, a few miles from the medieval Llanthony Priory. It survived until 1908, after which it was the home of artist Eric Gill. It is now holiday accommodation. It was also known as Llanthony Tertia – following on from the nearby original medieval Llanthony Priory, and its Gloucestershire offshoot Llanthony Secunda – or New Llanthony Abbey. The surviving buildings are now referred to as Capel-y-ffin Monastery.
