The Fate of Fountains Abbey: From Majesty to Ruin

Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast episode, recorded at Fountains Abbey and Fountains Hall. Today, the vast ruins of Fountains Abbey rise dramatically from the Skell Valley, but it was once one of the wealthiest and most powerful monasteries in northern England – a thriving Cistercian community whose fortunes were forever transformed by the religious upheavals of the 1530s. In this episode,  we’re stepping into that dramatic Tudor story.
