Description
A view of Calder Abbey in 1700
Calder Abbey was founded in 1134 by Ranulph de Meschines, Lord of Copeland, for a colony of monks from Furness Abbey, originally as a Benedictine monastery. The Abbey has been described as one of the most enchanting in the British Isles. After the Dissolution in 1536, when Henry VIII’s commissioners began their work of closing the monasteries, the monastery buildings slowly became the ruin it is today.
The privately owned abbey ruins are not normally open to the public, and views from the nearby road or river path are limited. However it is hoped that the ruins will soon be available to visit.
The artwork is based on a work from the British Library's PUBLIC DOMAIN catalog.
