St. Benet's Abbey was a medieval monastery of the Order of Saint Benedict, also known as St. Benet's at Holme or Hulme. It was situated on the River Bure within the Broads in Norfolk, England, approximately two miles from the village of Horning. It's said that St. Benet's was founded on the site of a ninth-century monastery and rebuilt in the tenth century. King Canute conferred his manors of Horning, Ludham, and Neatishead upon the monastery around 1022. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the first half of the sixteenth century, the abbey's possessions were effectively seized by the crown and assigned to the diocese of Norwich. Though the monastery was supposed to continue as a community, within a few years the monks had dispersed. Today, there remain only ruins. It should not be confused with the still extant Church of St. Benedict which lies a half mile from the village of Horning.
