Waverley Abbey

Waverley was the first Cistercian Abbey in the British Isles. It was founded in 1128 and despite not being well endowed survived until it was dissolved in 1536 on the orders of the King.

We are grateful to our friends the monks of Farnborough for this picture, taken during their recent visit with some of their guests
