Rievaulx & Byland Abbey

Two very fine ruins, Rievaulx Abbey (the more complete ruin) and Byland Abbey (with the remains of a circular window now looking totally fantastical). Both in North Yorkshire, both victims of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when Henry VIII was getting frisky and needed a little divorce action.
