Sketches of English scenes. Jervaulx Abbey near Ripon in North Yorkshire. Building began in the mid-12th century and much of what remains today has miraculously survived from this period.

This Cistercian abbey was originally founded in 1145 and sited at Fors in Wensleydale, but was moved ten years later to a site a few miles away on the banks of the Ure.

Babbage, Benjamin Herschel, c. 1873, Photograph, PRG 404/19/2/22

Sketches of English scenes. Dumbleton Church was built during Norman times.

In the 14th century a large transept was added by Robert Daston as a burial chapel for himself and his family. More changes took place in the 15th century when the south aisle was built and the nave walls heightened to include a cleristory. Also in the 15th century the tower was heightened and battlement added. A substantial reconstruction of the chancel took place in 1862 together with a new roof and the present tile floor.
