Abbey Dore, in Herefordshire, was founded in 1147 by Lord Robert D'Ewyas and in 1282 it was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and Saint Mary, by D'Ewyas' brother in law, Thomas Cantilupe. It is located in the so-called "Golden Valley". The abbey was dissolved in 1536. Part of the original abbey church, begun in about 1180, is still in use. The surviving building, constructed of Hereford sandstone, lacks its original nave. It was restored in the 1630s, having been left in ruins following the Dissolution. Its rescuers were the Scudamores, a local family historically connected with Owen Glendower. They employed John Abel to repair the woodwork, and the roof of the chancel and decorated screen are his work. Herefordshire is a county in the West Midlands region of England. ...

"ABBEYDORE, (or Dore), a parish in the hundred of Webtree, in the county of Hereford, 13 miles S.W. of Hereford, and 2 N.W. of Pontrilas railway station.
It is situated in the Golden Valley on the river Dore, which is celebrated for its trout, and falls into the Munnow near Roilstone.
It formerly belonged to the Cistercian abbey of Dore, founded by Robert de Ewyas, in the reign of King Stephen, whose monument may still be seen in the church.
Doreabbey was established in the ‘Golden Valley’; of south-west Hereford in 1147 and was colonised by monks from Morimond Abbey in the Champagne region of north-eastern France.
(2) Apart from the estates in the Golden Valley, Doreabbey was to acquire a number of valuable properties in Wales.
He also believed that the monks of Dore carried off humbler folk from nearby villages who were dying and ‘by corrupt persuasion’ wheeled them to their abbeys and then took their possessions.
