Stapehill Abbey History Stapehill Abbey was built in the early 19th century and was home to the Holy Cross Abbey order of Cistercian Trappist nuns from 1802 to 1991. The founding group was led by Madame Augustin de Chabannes, a professed sister of the Parisian Abbey of Saint Antoine.

She had been imprisoned in the Bastille, narrowly escaping the guillotine when the Bastille was stormed, and fleeing to Switzerland, before joining the monastic odyssey, which took the refugees across Europe in search of asylum.

The church was built in 1847-51 and designed by Charles Hansom and the cemetery contains a memorial cross of 1844 by Pugin, commemorating the abbess Mde.de Chabannes.
