	Corvus '94 - Jervaulx Abbey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Jervaulx suffered more heavily than other Yorkshire abbeys at the Dissolution because the last abbot was involved in the Pilgrimage of Grace.
		Probably the most recognised feature of Jervaulx, for it's prominence on the horizon, is the wall supporting the remaining nine lancet windows which formed part of the monks' dormitory.
		Apart from Jervaulx's obvious charm, there was something very appealing, and appropriate, about the trusting attitude of the owners who have provided a 'conscience box' at the entrance gate.

		The standing remains of the abbey include part of the church and claustral buildings, as well as a watermill; the pulpitum screen with part of the stalls can now be seen in Aysgarth Church.

		Jervaulx is unusual in that it is still privately owned, although open to the public.
		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.
		Jervaulx, because of its present ownership, has a rather different atmosphere to the other abbeys and priories we have visited.

	Houses of Cistercian monks: Jervaulx \| British History Online
		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.
		Although throughout this account the new foundation has been generally spoken of as that of Jervaulx, it must be borne in mind that it was the earlier house at Fors, some 16 miles higher up the valley than the subsequent site of Jervaulx Abbey, that is alluded to.
		The writer having related all these incidents as to the origin of Jervaulx Abbey lapses into the marvellous, but it is a very pretty story that he tells.
