About Delapré Abbey

Delapré Abbey Preservation Trust is an independent charity and company limited by guarantee. The Trust was set up to preserve and promote the heritage and natural environment of Delapré Abbey and the former Bouverie estate. In 2021, responding to new leadership and the impact of the pandemic, we are refocussing our efforts and broadening our reach and impact.

We promote the 900 years of the Abbey’s history, and the stories that have unfolded within and around the estate over this time. The Abbey sits within over 550 acres of park and woodland, within an urban setting.

We, with our partners, support all ages to engage with programmes that promote learning and socialising, and bring people and communities together.

We are proud to be rooted in Northampton, and to be supporting our local community who we coexist with.

We want to promote the Park and the Abbey to the widest number of people possible, connecting an ever-increasing number of individuals and communities to both nature and heritage. Through which we can support with opportunities that improve wellbeing.
