Bolton Priory

HFF folks!

Bolton was founded as an Augustinian priory in the 12th century, situated on the banks of the river Wharfe. After the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII most of the priory fell into ruin but the western half of the nave survived and is still in use a village church.

Bolton liegt am Fluss Wharfe und wurde im 12. Jh als Augustinerpriorei gegründet. Wie die anderen Klöster wurde auch Bolton unter Heinrich dem VIII enteignet und zerstört, nur der Westteil des Langhauses blieb erhalten und wird noch heute als Pfarrkirche genutzt.

You certainly had a well-organised trip. A typically English scene with lush green grass, a ruin of a priory and an uncertain sky. ;-)
HFF and a good weekend, Gudrun

Gudrun replied to Amelia:

Many thanks, Amelia! We were running late that day which was just as well because the sun finally showed up, at least for a while;-)

Diese Stein-Zäune erinnern mich wieder an unsere GB-Rundreise vor vielen Jahren.
Und wenn man schon so viele Steine bewegen muss, um Weiden zu erhalten, dann baut man auch gleich Kirchen und Häuser daraus.
So hat man uns das damals erklärt...
