Mortemer Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery in the Forest of Lyons between the present Lyons-la-Forêt and Lisors. By the 15th century, the abbey was home to hundreds of monks and was the most powerful abbey in Normandy, but by 1453, the abbey was under the French crown, rather than the English. Over the centuries after this, the abbey fell into decline and disrepair. And it is no stranger to ghost stories. From a Dame Blanche to a procession of monks to goblin cats, join us for this spooky story…
Stay safe out there.
With love,
