Surviving remains include the small church for the disappeared parish, with unrestored medieval wall-paintings. In 1937 the site was donated to the National Trust and in 1948 the Ministry of Works, a predecessor of English Heritage, assumed responsibility for the abbey. Among those buried at the Abbey were the founder Richard of Cornwall, his second wife Sanchia of Provence and his sons, Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall and Henry of Almain. Outside the remains of the Abbey is Hailes Church. The church is older than the abbey, and was consecrated in 1175. It later served as the "capella ante portas" (Latin for chapel outside the gates) to the Abbey until the Abbey's dissolution in 1539. Inside the church are fine medieval wall paintings. The church is also a Grade I listed building. The church is part of the Winchcombe benefice and occasional services are held.
