Description
I came across this little gem on a trip to Wales in the UK last year. This is the ruin of Tally Abbey that made for a great black and white conversion. I used a slow shutter speed for cloud movement to give a great feeling of time to the beautiful structure. This stunning place has a great history stemming some 900 years. All the best, bellow is some of the history
........................................................................................................................................
The Order was founded in 1120. In 1126, when it received papal approbation by Pope Honorius II, there were nine houses; others were established in quick succession throughout western Europe, so that at the middle of the fourteenth century there were some 1,300 monasteries for men and 400 for women. They came to England about 1143, first at Newhouse in Lincoln, and before the dissolution under Henry VIII there were 35 houses. Soon after their arrival in England, they founded Dryburgh Abbey in the Borders area of Scotland, which was followed by other communities at Whithorn Priory, Dercongal Abbey and Tongland Abbey all in the Borders area, as well as Fearn Abbey in Ross.
