About The Abbey
The Abbey Residential Home is situated on the site of an old monastery founded by the Gilbertine Order in 1150. The Gilbertines were the only medieval religious order of English Origin. The undercroft of the original monastery kitchen survives under The Abbey together with a labyrinth of tunnels (now sealed) that reputably run all the way to Malton Town Centre.
Eventually in 1988, The Abbey Residential Home was created. We are proud to say that it has evolved into one of the most recognised privately run homes in the area.
We sit just outside the walls of St Mary’s Church in Old Malton, surrounded by mature trees with stunning views over the North Yorkshire Countryside, River Derwent and our own gardens. In spite of this serenity, we are within minutes of the thriving town centre of Malton which boasts ‘Yorkshire's Food Capital’ with many independent, shops, bars and restaurants selling local fresh produce.
Our rooms are unique due to the historic character of the building with lovely aspects over the grounds and countryside. We encourage residents to bring those special personal effects that are so important to them.
In the summer the keen gardeners take advantage of the beautiful grounds, planting and nurturing raised beds. We have an abundance of birds and wildlife that visit our peaceful gardens.
