Frating Abbey was reputedly an abbey in the village of Frating, in Essex, England.[1] There is no evidence however that there was more than a farm here belonging to either St Botolph's Priory, Colchester, or to Wix Priory from around 1125.
The current house, and first to be named Frating Abbey Farmhouse, dates from the mid-nineteenth century, built by Mr Boghurst.[2] It replaced a manor house called Wheelers, mentioned twice in Feet of Fines in 1547 [3] and 1564.[4]
