Fix this textT 1 HERE are lovely ruins in England vastly different from the ghastly modern ruins for which Nazi “total war” technique was responsible.
Fix this text* Near the Cathedral City of Ripon, in Yorkshire, are the beautiful ruins of the historical abbeys, Fountains, Bolton, Riyaulx and
Fix this textBylands. The first-named, founded in 1131, is regarded as a fine example of the early English style of architecture. The origin of the
Fix this textname has been variously explained—one authority, in poetic metre, gives his opinion thus:
Fix this text“Low in a vale, with springs well stored, and wood,
Fix this textAnd sovereign herbs whence failing health’s renewed,
Fix this textA neighboring abbey next invites the eye,
Fix this textStupendous acts of former piety;
Fix this textFrom streams and springs which nature here contrives,
Fix this textThe name of Fountains this sweet place derives.”
Fix this textHow it came to be founded is another matter. Scenes of violence had taken place among the monks of St. Mary’s at York, and, the
Fix this textrestoration of order being difficult, the Archbishop assigned to some of them a place of retreat in the valley of the Skell. Here they at
Fix this textfirst sheltered themselves under rocks and yew-trees, subsequently erecting wooden cells and a chapel beneath an enormous elm, which
Fix this textsurvived until the Dissolution. Wealth poured in upon the monks until their lands extended to Pennygent, a mountain some miles to
Fix this textthe west, and included in one estate 60,000 acres, besides other domains elsewhere. To reach the Abbey the Skell has to be crossed if the
Fix this textvisitor comes from Ripon, three miles distant. The ruins consist of nave, transept, choir and tower, 168 feet high. The nave is the
Fix this textoldest portion. Probably, the Lady Chapel is the most beautiful part of the church, and this testimony has been left by the late J. Phillips,
Fix this textF.G.S., no mean authority, “The slender octagonal pillars of vast height which bear the lofty arches connected with the clerestory of
Fix this textthe nave are almost a miracle.” The Refectory, the Frater-House, the Chapter House, the Abbot’s House and other remains found by
Fix this textsucceeding generations are worthy of careful examination. The whole, as all who have had the good fortune to go to Fountains Abbey
Fix this textwill confess, is wonderfully beautiful and impressive.
