Fountains Abbey ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~
Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. It is located approximately three miles south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, near to the village of Aldfield. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for over 400 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The abbey is a Grade I listed building owned by the National Trust and part of the designated Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey UNESCO World Heritage Site.
History ~ After a dispute and riot in 1132 at the Benedictine house of St Mary's Abbey, in York, 13 monks were expelled (among them Saint Robert of Newminster) and, after unsuccessfully attempting to return to the early 6th-century Rule of St Benedict, were taken into the protection of Thurstan, Archbishop of York. He provided them with land in the valley of the River Skell, a tributary of the Ure. The enclosed valley had all the natural features needed for the creation of a monastery, providing shelter from the weather, stone and timber for building, and a supply of running water. After enduring a harsh winter in 1133, the monks applied to join the Cistercian order and in 1135 became the second house of that order in northern England, after Rievaulx. The monks subjected themselves to Clairvaux Abbey, in Burgundy which was under the rule of St Bernard. Under the guidance of Geoffrey of Ainai, a monk sent from Clairvaux, the group learned how to celebrate the seven Canonical Hours and were shown how to construct wooden buildings in accordance with Cistercian practice.
After Henry Murdac was elected to the abbacy in 1143, the small stone church and timber claustral buildings were replaced. Within three years, an aisled nave had been added to the stone church, and the first permanent claustral buildings built in stone and roofed in tile had been completed.[citation needed]
In 1146 an angry mob, displeased with Murdac's role in opposing the election of William FitzHerbert to the archbishopric of York, attacked the abbey and burnt down all but the church and some surrounding buildings.[7] The community recovered swiftly from the attack and founded four daughter houses. Henry Murdac resigned the abbacy in 1147 to become the Archbishop of York and was replaced first by Maurice, Abbot of Rievaulx then, on the resignation of Maurice, by Thorald. Thorald was forced by Henry Murdac to resign after two years in office. The next abbot, Richard, held the post until his death in 1170 and restored the abbey's stability and prosperity. In 20 years as abbot, he supervised a huge building programme which involved completing repairs to the damaged church and building more accommodation for the increasing number of recruits. Only the chapter house was completed before he died and the work was ably continued by his successor, Robert of Pipewell, under whose rule the abbey gained a reputation for caring for the needy.
The next abbot was William who presided over the abbey from 1180 to 1190 and he was succeeded by Ralph Haget, who had entered Fountains at the age of 30 as a novice, after pursuing a military career. During the European famine of 1194 Haget ordered the construction of shelters in the vicinity of the abbey and provided daily food rations to the poor enhancing the abbey's reputation for caring for the poor and attracting more grants from wealthy benefactors.[citation needed]
In the first half of the 13th century Fountains increased in reputation and prosperity under the next three abbots, John of York (1203–1211), John of Hessle (1211–1220) and John of Kent (1220–1247). They were burdened with an inordinate amount of administrative duties and increasing demands for money in taxation and levies but managed to complete another massive expansion of the abbey's buildings. This included enlarging the church and building an infirmary. In the second half of the 13th century the abbey was in more straitened circumstances. It was presided over by eleven abbots, and became financially unstable largely due to forward selling its wool crop, and the abbey was criticised for its dire material and physical state when it was visited by Archbishop John Romeyn in 1294. The run of disasters that befell the community continued into the early 14th century when northern England was invaded by the Scots and there were further demands for taxes. The culmination of these misfortunes was the Black Death of 1349–1349. The loss of manpower and income due to the ravages of the plague was almost ruinous.
A further complication arose as a result of the Papal Schism of 1378–1409. Fountains Abbey along with other English Cistercian houses was told to break off any contact with the mother house of Citeaux, which supported a rival pope. This resulted in the abbots forming their own chapter to rule the order in England and consequently they became increasingly involved in internecine politics. In 1410, following the death of Abbott Burley of Fountains, the community was riven by several years of turmoil over the election of his successor. Contending candidates John Ripon, Abbot of Meaux, and Roger Frank, a monk of Fountains were locked in discord until 1415 when Ripon was finally appointed and presided until his death in 1434. Under abbots John Greenwell (1442–1471), Thomas Swinton (1471–8), John Darnton (1478–95), who undertook some much needed restoration of the fabric of the abbey including notable work on the church, and Marmaduke Huby (1495–1526) Fountains regained stability and prosperity.
When Marmaduke Huby died he was succeeded by William Thirsk who was accused by the royal commissioners of immorality and inadequacy and dismissed from the abbacy and replaced by Marmaduke Bradley, a monk of the abbey who had reported Thirsk's supposed offences, testified against him and offered the authorities six hundred marks for the abbacy. In 1539 Bradley surrendered the abbey when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.....
One of the eagles that we saw at the Bird of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire. I didn't take a note of this one, so maybe someone can help with an ID.
The ruins of the Abbey are dominated by Huby's Tower. One of the last great building campaigns at the monastery, abbot Marmaduke Huby added it in 1495-1526 to house a peal of bells and replace the troublesome central tower of the church. To the left are the remains of the south transept and have of the church, dating to the 12th century. To the right is the Chapel of Nine Altars, while immediately in front are the chapter house and fragments of the abbot's lodgings. It the foreground a stream disappears under the very fragmentary remains of the infirmary complex. The reference pictures were taken at Easter 2019, hence all the visitors enjoying the sunshine.
Taken at the Bird of Prey Centre in Huby, North Yorkshire. I think it is a Sparrowhaw, but maybe someone can confirm the ID. After googling, I think now that it may be a female Goshawk.
We were surprised to see an Australian Kookaburra at the Birds of Prey Centre at Huby, Yorkshire, The put on a wonderful display for visitors with their loud laughing call.

I have come down with a severe throat infection and head cold - not good when we have less than a week before we fly out for Canada and Alaska. My throat is so sore, especially when I cough and when I saw the doctor this morning he said I have broken some little blood vessels in my throat. I am on medication which I hope works in the next few days. I had the flu injection at the end of April and I always get sick after them, even though everyone says that you don't.
Golden Eagle that we saw at the Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire. A magnificent bird - Peter actually volunteered to hold it while we were there, an experience he will remember forever.
This is another view of the Juvenile Crested Caracara that we saw at the Birds of Prey Centre, Huby, Yorkshire. We had a wonderful visit there and I would recommend it to anyone.
Another view of the beautiful female Goshaw that we saw at the Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, North Yorkshire. A wonderful place to visit if you are in the area.
Fountains Abbey, floodlit evening. From the doorway of the refectory (dining room), into the cloister. I had a long wait here to avoid people, though with storm Oscar howling through the Abbey, there weren't as many about as on previous floodlit evenings,. However, with a guided tour, being led from one area to another, with long talks at each "station", it seemed to take forever! One part of me wanted to join the group to find out more, whilst another part just wanted them out of the way, so I could take photos. ;o)

The top of Huby's Tower seen from the south aisle looking up through the roofless ruins of the Nave of the Abbey Church at Fountains Abbey. The church was built in the 12th century while the tall tower was added around 1500. The sandstone walls and pillars are believed to have been painted white inside the church to create a light and peaceful atmosphere.

This is Shadow the beautiful Golden Eagle from the Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire. He is an impressive bird - Peter has had the opportunity to hold him on two occasions now. He is in awe and would love to own such a bird. He is with his handler here and the rapport they share is beautiful to see.

Beautiful Golden Eagle we saw at the Birds of Prey Centre, Huby, Yorkshire.
We are staying the night with my brother and sister in law - will catch up with everyone when we arrive home tomorrow.
Taken at the Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire. I had my 100-400 lens on and I was unable to adjust it quick enough to get the whole bird in the photo, but almost managed to do so.
