Merevale

Merevale is a small, mainly rural civil parish in North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England, lying a few miles from the market town of Atherstone. The area is dominated by the historic estate of Merevale Hall and the remains of the medieval Cistercian house, Merevale Abbey, whose gatehouse and church survive and lend the parish a distinct monastic character.

Today the parish remains largely agricultural and estate-centred with woodland and parkland, a small population and a quietly preserved historic landscape; many people commute to nearby towns while the abbey ruins and estate feature in local history interest and occasional community events.
