Polesworth Abbey was a Benedictine nunnery in Polesworth, North Warwickshire, England.[1]
In 925, the sister of Ethelstan, and repudiated wife of Sihtric, king of Northumbria, came to live at the Abbey.[2] In 1066, Sir Robert Marmion expelled the nuns from Polesworth, but after seeing a vision of St. Edith, he allowed them to return; in 1242, King Henry III granted the abbey a weekly market, as well as an annual fair for St Margaret.[2]
