Furness Abbey - A Glimpse into the Medieval Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 1920s, capturing the timeless beauty of Furness Abbey in Cumbria. The ruins of this ancient Cistercian monastery, dedicated to St Mary of Furness since its establishment in 1123, stand as a testament to centuries of history and devotion. The image was originally featured on a collectible cigarette card from the second series of British royal and ancient buildings by Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd. However, it is not just a commercial artifact; it holds immense archaeological significance. In this monochrome landscape, we are transported to an era when Christianity flourished within these hallowed walls. The century-old abbey's intricate architecture reveals glimpses of its medieval grandeur despite being reduced to ruins over time. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination wanders through the corridors that once echoed with prayers and chants. We can almost feel the spiritual energy that once permeated every stone. Furness Abbey's presence amidst nature's embrace adds another layer of enchantment. Located in Barrow-in-Furness, England, its tranquil surroundings evoke a sense of serenity even today. Thanks to The Print Collector for preserving this historical gem for future generations. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that while empires rise and fall, relics like Furness Abbey endure as tangible links connecting us with our past – reminding us how far we've come while honoring
