Milton Abbey Church forms the heart of Milton Abbey, a historical site with roots tracing back to 939 AD when King Athelstan founded a Benedictine monastery. The present church building largely dates from the 16th century, constructed after the dissolution of the monastery in 1539 by the Grosvenor family who repurposed the monastic buildings, including the church, as a family estate. Architecturally, the church is noted as an example of Perpendicular Gothic style, featuring notable stained glass and intricate stone carvings. The building underwent significant restoration in the 19th century. Due to its acoustics and historical significance, Milton Abbey Church is a popular venue for musical performances.
