NOTES: Formerly an Augustinian priory founded in around 1170, Newstead Abbey is perhaps best known as the former home of Lord Byron. Its late 13th century west church front can be seen on the upper left of Shaw's design. Thomas Wildman bought Newstead from Byron in 1818, employing Shaw to carry out alterations.
