More about this scene
Founded in 1147, Roche Abbey was a colony of Newminster in Northumberland, itself a daughter of the great Cistercian abbey of Fountains. The abbey took its name from a cross-like rock that was already an object of pilgrimage for the faithful. The main ruins comprise parts of the east walls of the transepts, part of the chancel and a vaulted gatehouse.
