Summary

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. Jervaulx suffered more heavily than other Yorkshire abbeys at the Dissolution because the last abbot was involved in the Pilgrimage of Grace. 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.
