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'.

Old Croxton Park House
This shows the once grand north front of the 18th Century hunting lodge built by the third Duke of Rutland using materials from the 12th century Premonstratensian Priory. Note the remains of the curved colonnade which must have been a very grand feature.

Stag-headed oak, Croxton Park
This is a common sight in ancient oak woodland. As they get older oaks tend to die back and loose branches. They are still an important habitat for a wide variety of insects and small animals and birds. Here this ancient tree is isolated in the field that holds the remnants of the old Premonstratensian Priory.

Field and woodland at Croxton Park
This field must have been the site of the 12th Century Premonstratensian Priory, of which nothing remains except a few earth mounds and ridges in the biologically important parkland and the stone building materials that were used for the hunting lodge, Image, and the houses on the site. See Image for more information about this SSSI.
