Alcestre Monastery was a monastery situated west of Ravensthorpe in Leicestershire, England, then part of the Kingdom of Mercia during the Anglo-Saxon period.
In 873, the monastery was raided by the Raven Clan of Vikings led by Eivor in order to obtain materials enough to build a forge for the Ravensthorpe's blacksmith, Gunnar.[1]
