clubhouse, sports club, Grade II* Listed (UK), scheduled ancient monument
Once a private home, it then was bought by ICI as offices.
Nothing remains of the great church, though archaeological work has revealed many details of its structure and a monument known as the 'Nun's Grave' traditionally commemorating a fourteenth century Cheshire nun, Ida Marian Godman, marks the site of the high altar. The present country house on the site incorporates substantial parts of the south and west ranges of the abbey plus Holcroft's Tudor house. Vale Royal is now home to a golf club.
