Stoneleigh Abbey is actually a large country house and related buildings, incorporating the remains of the Cistercian abbey from which it takes its name. The large fifteen-bay west wing, seen to the left in this photograph, was constructed between 1714 and 1726, with earlier domestic buildings on the site dating back to the mid-sixteenth century when the estate was acquired by the Leigh family after the dissolution of the abbey.
Formerly held in the collection of a Mrs Davies and donated to the National Buildings Record on the 4th of September 1953.
