MenuFountains Abbey, Yorkshire
Fountains Abbey is a ruined 12th-century Cistercian monastery near Aldfield, Yorkshire, in the West Riding. The abbey was founded in 1132, becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution in 1539. The main monastic buildings survive well. The whole precinct layout of the abbey and its ancillary buildings can be identified both as upstanding features and buried remains. The Chapel of the Nine Altars, unique in England, is preserved to its full height. The cellarium of the west range still retains its vaulted roof for a length of 300ft. It is within the council area of North Yorkshire.
