The Bulletin  

•The Bulletin,” Vol. 72—No. 3724  

Wednesday, June 27, 1951  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Seppelts  

QNE of the most beautiful and  

romantic of Britain’s ancient monu-  

ments is Fountains Abbey, which stands in  

Studley Park beside the River Skell, four  

miles from Ripon. Founded in 1132, Foun-  

tains Abbey is one of the largest and best  

preserved Cistercian houses in England.  

During the early years of its founda-  

tion the monks suffered extreme hardship  

and privation, for they first settled in the  

valley during the depth of winter, their  

only shelter being thatch of straw  

around the base of large elm tree. At  

the end of the first winter they were re-  

duced to the necessity of eating the leaves  

of trees and wild herbs, boiled with salt.  

Their hardship continued for few years  

until the Abbey was endowed by Hugh  

Dean of York, and this was followed by  

benefactions from Serlo and Tosti, two  

canons of York. In 1140 the Abbey was  

damaged by fire, but restoration was com-  

menced in 1203 and finally completed in  

1526. Duringthereign ofKingJohn(ll99-  

1216) the Abbey received large donations  

from the great northern barons, particu-  

larly from the Percy family, who were  

considered the hereditary patrons and  

benefactors of the Abbey.  

Fiom small beginnings the Abbey grew  

in wealth and importance until at the  

time of the Dissolution the buildings  

covered twelve acres of land, two of  

which are occupied by the present ruins.  

The Abbey and large portion of the  

estate was sold by Henry VIII to Sir  

Richard Gresham and thereafter it  

passed through many hands.  

Although weathered by the passing  

centuries Fountains Abbey still retains  

many traces of its former beauty.  

Evidence of its builders’ craftsmanship  

may be seen to best advantage in the  

“Chapel of the Nine Altars,” miracle of  

delicate design. The length of the Abbey  

is 358 feet and is surmounted by great  

tower, 166 feet in height, at the north  

end of the transept. The cloisters, 300  

feet long, divided by columns and arches,  

extend across the River Skell.  

Two explanations are given for the  

origin of the name “Fountains”—one  

asserts that the founder of the Cistercian  

Order, St. Bernard, was born at  

Fountains in Burgundy and the Abbey  

was named in his honour the other gives  

the name “Skell,” meaning fountain, as  

the reason for its name.  

Near the Abbey, along the course of the  

River Skell, is Robin Hood's Well, one  

of the traditional sites of the encounter  

between Robin Hood and the “Curtal  

Friar” in which the gallant outlaw was  

beaten and thrown into the brook.
