Fountains Abbey

            Looking along the Nave of the Abbey Church at Fountains Abbey towards the Choir and site of the Altar with the enormous window in the Chapel of the Nine Altars at the eastern end of the ruins.

The Abbey was founded in 1132 by monks of the Cistercian Order and closed down in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries as ordered by King Henry VIII. The ruins are Listed as a Grade I Scheduled Ancient Monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s was one of the most revolutionary events in English history. There were nearly 900 religious houses in England, around 260 for monks, 300 for regular canons, 142 nunneries and 183 friaries; some 12,000 people in total, 4,000 monks, 3,000 canons, 3,000 friars and 2,000 nuns. If the adult male population was 500,000, that meant that one adult man in fifty was in religious orders. (Wikipedia).
