		Perhaps the most noteworthy fragment of this abbey to remain standing is the undercroft of the lay brothers refectory.
		As Waverley was a significant starting point in the Cistercian movement, I find it remarkable that this abbey lacks the ornateness of Tintern Abbey, the enormity of Rievaulx Abbey and the wealth of Fountains Abbey.
