Waverley Abbey. First settled next to the River Wey in 1128 it was the first Cistercian monastery in England. Much was rebuilt after severe flooding in the 13th century and it was finally demolished with the dissolution of the power and influence of the monasteries by Henry VIII in 1536. Some of the stones were used in the construction of Waverley Abbey House, that stands today on the other side of the river. It was the first country house to be turned into a military hospital in World War One. #waverleyabbey #waverleyabbeyhouse #riverwey (at Waverley Abbey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJdwuOujrkQ/?igshid=lr7sg7u2f1oy

Tagging a building isn't a new thing but rather than spray paints chisels were required to leave these 500 year old tags. 📷🐶🚶🌼🌱🌳😄🌺❤️ . . . . @englishheritage . --------------------------------- @lumix #lumixg80 #lumixgvario1260mm @lumixuk --------------------------------- #like #follow #pictures #photographer #photooftheday #picoftheday #instagood #beautiful #landscape #waverley #waverleyabbey #waverleyabbeyruins #surrey #surreylife #spring #sunny #walk #countrylife #farnham #ig_tag_europe #ig_tag_earth #instagoodmyphoto #marvelous_shots #rural_love #wonderfull_places #shotsonearth #earthgallery #naturephotoportal @ig_tag_europe @ig_tag_earth @globalcapture @moodygrams https://ift.tt/2rwgiVX

Waverley Abbey (30/10/2016)

Today we went to Waverley Abbey.

http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/waverley-abbey

Waverley Abbey was the first Cistercian abbey in England. It was founded in 1128 by William Giffard, Bishop of Winchester. Located in Farnham, Surrey, about 2 miles southeast of the town centre, the abbey is situated on a floodplain, surrounded by current and previous channels of the River Wey.

It was damaged on more than one occasion by severe flooding, resulting in rebuilding in the 13th century. Despite being the first Cistercian abbey in England, and being motherhouse to several other abbeys, Waverley was “slenderly endowed” and its monks are recorded as having endured poverty and famine.
