Worth Abbey is a Benedictine monastery set in the landscaped grounds of Worth Park on the edge of the village of Turners Hill in Mid Sussex, West Sussex, England. The monastic community is closely linked with Worth School, and its modern abbey church - a notable example of contemporary ecclesiastical architecture with good acoustics - makes it a distinctive landmark in the area.
The monks run parish services, retreats and educational and pastoral activities, and the place has a strong musical life with chant and choral events. Economically and socially the abbey contributes through the school, visitor events and local employment, while its setting in rolling Sussex parkland gives it a quietly prominent historic and cultural presence in the region.
