Rievaulx Abbey
Rievaulx Abbey

On New Year's Eve we took my mum and Richard to Rievaulx Abbey. Here we met up with our daughter Kate, and her dog Sky. It was cold but dry and for the most part sunny. After a walk around the impressive ruins we had lunch in the new viisitor centre. I added watercolour to my previous pencil sketch after the visit. The abbey was founded by Cistercian monks in the 1170s. In the 1250s the church was enlarged with a new east end and heightened transepts. After the Dissolution in the 1530s the east end of the church was left almost intact, becoming a garden feature for the nearby owner of the Duncombe Park estate. This is a view from the very ruinous nave of the church.
