From the Wikipedia article
Cirencester Abbey was a house of regular canons in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, founded in 1130 by Henry I of England on the site of a large late-Saxon church. It grew into one of the wealthiest communities of Augustinians in England, noted for its library and a substantial precinct shaped by mills and managed watercourses. The abbey was surrendered in December 1539 during the dissolution of the monasteries.
