English: Former abbey in Wilton, Wiltshire, England, UK. Founded c.830, and then refounded in 890, 934, and again in 970. Destroyed by Sweyn Forkbeard in 1003, and rebuilt in stone by Edith of Wessex (consecrated in 1065). It was dissolved on 25 March 1539 and granted to Sir William Herbert in 1534. Although most of the mediaeval buildings were demolished, some were spared. The buildings which were expanded to create Wilton House burnt down with its first incarnation in 1647, leaving only the Almonry in the mansion's gardens.
