Welcome to the website of the Friends of Delapre Abbey.

We are a community organisation, with the full support of Northampton Borough Council & Northampton County Council, dedicated to securing the future of Northampton's Delapre Abbey, to enable our community now and for generations to come to enjoy the heritage and facilities of this wonderful building and its grounds.

Steeped in history spanning almost 900 years, and with its own resident Ghost, Delapre Abbey is Northampton's best kept secret. You will find within these pages the History of the Abbey & Grounds, and of the Friends, information about the forming of Delapre Abbey Trust, plans for the Future, News & Events, and how you can Make a Difference and help Delapre Abbey become the heart of our community, and shine as the 'jewel in the crown' of historical Northamptonshire.
