Description
Waverley Abbey was built in 1128. Waverley Abbey was the foundation house in England of the new Cistercian order of the monks where manual work was encouraged and the liturgy simplified. The reliance of lay brothers to work the land proved very attractive to the uneducated by 1150 there were five other communities in England including Fountains Reivaux and Tintern Abbeys.
Waverley continued to grow until late in the 14th century, providing shelter for pilgrims and an infirmary for the sick. Unfortunately, the Abbey was not well endowed and suppressed by Henry VIII in 1536. Afterwards the Abbey became a convenient source of local building material.
The Abbeys ruins sit next to the river Wey and provide a picturesque photographic spot.
This and the other photos in this series were taken last Saturday afternoon / early evening.
