Description
Exterior view of ruins of Byland Cistercian Abbey, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, England
Byland Abbey was described in the 12th century as one of the shining lights of northern monasticism. It was only after 43 years and numerous moves that the community of Byland found a permanent home. Yet the abbey rose to be one of the largest of the Cistercian order in Britain. The remains of the buildings, particularly the great church with its magnificent west front, are important in the development of northern monastic architecture in the second half of the 12th century.
