	Byland Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Byland Abbey in Yorkshire was founded as a Savigniac abbey in January 1135 and was absorbed by the Cistercian order in 1147.
		Byland Abbey didn't achieve the heights of financial success that places such as Rievaulx did, but it was famed for its sheep rearing and wool exports.
		Its church was said to be among the finest 12th century churches in Europe.

	Byland
		Byland was founded as a Savigniac house in 1134, but was brought within the Cistercian family following the absorption of the Savigniac Congregation in 1147.
		By the late twelfth century Byland, Fountains and Rievaulx were described as 'the three shining lights of the North’.
		The community of Byland started as a colony of monks sent from Furness, to Calder, Cumberland, in 1134, but moved to several locations before finally settling at the present site, near the village of Coxwold.

		Byland Abbey was founded by the order of Savigny monks, a reforming branch of the Benedictines.
		The Abbey was started in 1177 around a temporary church, which was demolished bit by bit as the Abbey took shape around it and was finally finished in the 1190s.
		By 1538 the abbey was a very prosperous place, but then the abbot John Ledes along with his choir monks were forced to hand over the land to Henry VIII's suppression commissioners, and the pillaging and destruction of the Abbey began.

		Byland Abbey was regarded in its heyday as one of the three great monasteries of northern England, alongside Rievaulx Abbey and Fountains Abbey.
		As with most abbeys, the later years of Byland saw a reduction in the number of monks, with a small number using buildings that had been designed for hundreds.
		In 1322, during the era of the Scottish war of independence, when the army of King Edward II was surprised and defeated by an invading Scottish force at nearby Shaws Moor, the abbey was pillaged by the Scots.

		Houses of Cistercian Monks: The Abbey of Byland
		As Old Byland, from its nearness to Rievaulx, was unsuitable for the new abbey, Roger de Mowbray gave the monks in 1147 two carucates of land near Coxwold, and the monks set to work to clear the ground, and built a small stone church, a cloister, and other buildings and offices.
		With this, the troubles of the monks of Byland in maintaining their property and independence came to an end, but Roger de Mowbray, in order to make everything sure for the future, confirmed all his gifts to Byland before the Archbishop and chapter of York.

		King Edward is said by some to have been at Byland Abbey when the news of the discomfiture of his forces and the capture of the Earl of Richmond by the Scots reached him.
		Henry II (Footnote 5) took the abbey into his protection, and granted the monks and their men the privilege of being free in all cities, boroughs, markets, fairs, bridges, and ports throughout England and Normandy.
		Of spiritualities the abbey held the church of Old Byland, granted by their founder; a moiety of the church of Bubwith, given in 1349 by John de Mowbray for the good of the soul of his wife Joan, who was buried before the high altar of the abbey church; and both moieties of Rillington.

		What was once the Gatehouse of the Abbey can be seen on the right-hand side of the entrance, now a private house and much altered, but its stonework betrays its origins.
		The Abbey was built according to the usual plan, with a large church, facing east, a square cloister to the south and the Chapter House, where the business was done after readings of the Chapters, and the Parlour, where the monks were allowed limited conversation, leading off from the Cloisters to the east.
		The figure is that of Henry Fitzhugh who died in 1307 and was one of the abbey's benefactors.

	Abbey Inn, Byland - Reviewed 17/11/01 - This is York Archive - From the Evening Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The welcome was warm and friendly, and the atmosphere and decor of the place were extremely cosy, with stripped wood tables, exposed ceiling beams, flagstone floors, and old photos and paintings on the walls.
		But the icing on this rustic, homely and very authentic cake was the floodlit ruin of the 1,000-year-old abbey, almost within touching distance and neatly framed by the window of one of the restaurant's three dining areas.
		The attention to detail with the dishes at the Abbey Inn was not quite to the same standard as some of the restaurants we have visited recently, but that adds to the charm of the place.

		The story of the origin and foundation of the abbey of Jervaulx is told at great length in the lost Register of Byland Abbey, quoted in the Monasticon.
		Peter, the cellarer, urged against returning to Byland and went to Earl Alan in Brittany, where he showed the earl, with tears, their desolation, so that the latter wrote to Abbot John not to leave Jervaulx, and that he would assist them well on his return to Richmond.
		Hervey, son and heir of Akarius, (Footnote 6) by charter consented to the removal from Fors to the new and better site, on condition that he did not lose his patronage of the house or cease to be a partaker in the prayers and good works done in it.

		Wimund paraded around the area with his army, inciting those who had known him previously as a monk to set a trap to capture, blind and castrate this adventurer ‘for the sake of the kingdom of Scotland, not for that of Heaven’.
		Following his downfall, Wimund retired to Byland where he remained humiliated, but unrepentant, until his death.
		There, the ‘pretended monk and bishop’, told his woes to those who would listen and maintained that had he even the eye of a sparrow, ‘his enemies should have little occasion to rejoice at what they had done to him.’ (3)

		Approaching the Abbey Inn on a miserably misty and drizzly night, we were greeted by a stunning sight.
		The pub is situated straight across the road from the spectacularly floodlit ruins of Byland Abbey, built by Cistercian monks almost 1,000 years ago and sacked by Henry VIII several hundred years later.
		The inn, itself built by Benedictine brothers from Ampleforth in the 19th century, is attractively covered in creepers and, at this time of year, tasteful Christmas lights.
