| Description | English: Calke Abbey Calke Abbey is a baroque mansion owned by the National Trust and set in 600 acres of Calke Park National Nature Reserve. It was founded as an Augustinian priory by the 2nd Earl of Chester in the early 12th century and never progressed to become an abbey. By the mid 1100s it was already reduced to serving nearby Repton Priory and continued as such until the Dissolution in the 16th century. It then passed through the hands of many owners, gaining the name Calke Abbey in 1808, before being passed to the National Trust in the 1980s. Nothing of the original building remains, the earliest masonry being Elizabethan. It was largely rebuilt in 1701-1704. | |||
