From the Wikipedia article
Vaudey Abbey, also known as Vandy Abbey or Vandey Abbey, was an English Cistercian abbey. It was founded in 1147 by William, Count of Aumale, Earl of York. Its site is within the Grimsthorpe Castle park, in Lincolnshire, 3.7 miles (6 km) northwest of Bourne on the A151, but there are no remains of the Abbey aside from earthworks. The Victoria County History contains a substantial report and a list of abbots.

Background
History
Vaudey Abbey was founded by monks from Fountains Abbey, who first settled at Bytham on 26 May 1147, near William’s Castle Bytham. However, they soon found the land unsuitable, and by 1149 one of William’s tenants, Geoffrey de Brachecourt, had given the monks new lands in nearby Grimsthorpe. This new site was named (Valley of God), or "Vaudey" in the vernacular.
