The magnificent ruins of Furness Abbey are now in the care of
English Heritage and attract thousands of visitors every year.
Dating back to the twelfth century, the abbey was one of the
wealthiest Cistercian monasteries in the country. Over the
centuries, writers and artists including William Wordsworth and
Turner have been inspired by the splendour of the sandstone ruins
and the tranquillity of their location in a peaceful valley. In
Furness Abbey Through Time, local historian Gill Jepson, Chair of
the Furness Abbey Fellowship, presents an excellent visual
chronicle that looks at how the abbey precinct has changed over the
last century and more. Using an impressive collection of archive
photographs, postcard views and colour photographs, readers will
see that successive generations have been drawn here to explore the
abbey's heritage and enjoy the scenery. In addition to the main
abbey precinct, photographs of its closer landholdings, such as
Piel Castle, Bow Bridge, Abbot's Wood and Dalton Castle, are also
included, to provide a more comprehensive collection. This superbly
illustrated book will be of interest to local people and visitors
to the abbey and the surrounding area.
