Barlings is a small village in Lincolnshire
which can be found approximately six miles north-east of
Lincoln.
To visit by road follow the old Roman road to Wragby (the A158 )
north-east out of
Lincoln towards Langworth.
The local church is St. Edward's.
Barlings Abbey ruins can be found seven miles east of
Lincoln
on the west bank of the Barlings Eau, which is a tributary of the River Witham.
Founded in 1154 as a type of monastery, though today the only piece
of the abbey that still remains is a large tower of stone facade
the surrounding grounds of which on inspection clearly give indications to the
foundations of the abbey, outbuildings, ponds and ditches.
The abbey is known to have originally belonged to the Premonstratensian order
and founded in 1154 on land granted to them by Ralf de Haya
by thirteen canons who are thought to have travelled here from
Newsham Abbey near Grimsby.
Research shows that they may have
first settled on the higher ground about a mile away at Barlings Grange,
but they quickly moved on to the present site
which was then only a small island in Fiskerton fen known as Oxeney.
(the name Oxeney - derived from the island (ey) - where the oxen grazed).
The canons are also known to have built a raised pathway-causeway
of approximately half a mile to cross the fen and link the abbey
field to the higher ground.
This causeway along which today's visitors to the site must still pass
now forms the foundation of the modern road.
