The ruins of the Abbey date back to 1164, when its grand opening was attended by King Henry II as the fourth largest church in Britain.

King Henry VIII closed the Abbey in 1539 and it was turned into royal accommodation up until the Siege of Reading, when it was dismantled as a source of stone for fortifications.

The council acquired the outer court of the Abbey in 1855 and laid out flower beds which would become the basis of Forbury Gardens.

A lion was erected in its centre in 1886 to commemorate those who died in the Battle of Maiwand, Afghanistan.
