TINTERN ABBEY

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 1001 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TINTERN ABBEY , in
Monmouthshire
 , one of the most famous ecclesiastical ruins in England. It is beautifully situated on the right bank of the river Wye. The abbey was founded by Walter de Clare in 1131 for Cistercian monks. The existing church, however,
dates
  from the later part of the 13th century; it is unroofed, and the
nave
  is imperfect, but many of the finest details of a style transitional from Early English to Decorated are preserved. The church is cruciform.. Cloisters and other monastic buildings, of which there are considerable remains, lay to the north of the church. The foundation was dissolved by
Henry
  VIII. At the neighbouring
village
  of Tintern Parva there is a station on a branch of the
Great
  Western railway.
