HWW ~ Easby Abbey

HWW ~ Easby Abbey
After showing on here the Gatehouse (PiP) we now see the heart of this fine ruined Abbey

“The impressive ruins of Easby Abbey lie in picturesque surroundings by the River Swale in North Yorkshire. Easby is one of the best preserved monasteries of the Premonstratensian 'white canons', with the magnificent refectory, gatehouse and canons' dormitory remaining. The parish church within the precinct, which is still in use, contains rare 13th century wall paintings.
Founded in 1152, Easby Abbey was suppressed in 1536 and within two years most of its buildings had been stripped and demolished. The ruins later became a favourite subject for artists, including JMW Turner.” www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/easby-abbey

Well captured Herb. I think the sacking of the monasteries in the 16th century was an early manifestation of the way that, despite our love of history, the British actually take pleasure in destroying things!
HWW & enjoy the rest of the day.
