Fish-ponds of the former Croxton Abbey

Seen from the lower slopes of Windmill Hill. Other than the fish-ponds there's not much in this grid-square to show that there was once an abbey here. At least, that's what Pevsner says ('The Buildings of England: Leicestershire and Rutland', 1960). As there's no routine public access, we'd better take his word for it. By the way, the local pronunciation of Croxton is 'Crowson'.
