Fountains Abbey
The Abbey, Britain’s largest monastic ruin, was founded in 1132 by thirteen Benedictine monks from St Mary’s Abbey in York. They were seeking a simpler life, and later became Cistercian monks. The abbey was named Fountains Abbey
because of the springs of water that existed in the area.
Fountains Abbey is located approximately 3 miles south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire.
The estate was sold by the Crown to a merchant, Sir Richard Gresham. It remained in private hands until the 1960s. The National Trust bought the estate from the West Riding County Council in 1983.
