SD7746 : Sawley Abbey, Lancashire
taken 19 years ago, near to Sawley, Lancashire, England
Sawley Abbey, Lancashire
England is dotted with the remains of many abbeys that were the victims of Henry VIII's dissolution - displacing monks, and removing their wealth in an attempt to bolster his own coffers and the coffers of his loyal follower. A despicable moment in history. Luckily, the remains of these great edifices continue to be protected in their current settings.
