EDITORS COMMENTS
Rievaulx Abbey, nestled in the picturesque valley of the River Rye in North Yorkshire, England, stands as a testament to the rich history and religious significance of medieval Europe. Captured in this evocative photograph by Mike Kipling, the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey appear as a breathtaking scene of tranquility and contemplation. Founded in 1132 by twelve Cistercian monks, Rievaulx Abbey flourished for over 300 years, becoming one of the most influential and prosperous monasteries in England. The abbey's distinctive Gothic architecture, with its intricate stonework and elegant arches, reflects the monks' dedication to their faith and their commitment to creating a sanctuary of beauty and spirituality. However, the peaceful existence of Rievaulx Abbey was not to last. In the 16th century, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the abbey was closed, and its valuable assets were seized by King Henry VIII. The once-mighty abbey was left to ruin, and over the centuries, the elements took their toll, reducing the once-majestic structure to the haunting ruins that can be seen today. Despite the passage of time and the ravages of the elements, Rievaulx Abbey continues to draw visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at its history and to find inspiration in its quiet beauty. The ruins stand as a reminder of the power of faith, the passage of time, and the enduring allure of the past. This photograph, taken from Rievaulx Terrace, offers a unique perspective on the abbey, inviting the viewer to imagine the lives of the monks who once called this place home and to reflect on the enduring legacy of Rievaulx Abbey as a symbol of the rich history and spiritual heritage of England.
