The magnificent ruins of Furness Abbey, nestled in the picturesque surroundings of the English Lake District, are now under the care of English Heritage and continue to attract thousands of visitors each year. Dating back to the twelfth century, the abbey was once one of the wealthiest Cistercian monasteries in the country, known for its exquisite architecture and serene atmosphere. Over the centuries, renowned writers and artists such as William Wordsworth and J.M.W. Turner have been captivated by the splendour of the sandstone ruins and the tranquility of their location in a peaceful valley. In "Furness Abbey Through Time," local historian Gill Jepson, Chair of the Furness Abbey Fellowship, presents an excellent visual chronicle that explores how the abbey precinct has evolved over the past century and more. Using an impressive collection of archive photographs, postcard views, and colour photographs, readers are transported back in time to witness the changing face of the abbey. The book also includes photographs of its closer landholdings, such as Piel Castle, Bow Bridge, Abbots Wood, and Dalton Castle, providing a more comprehensive collection of the abbey's heritage. This superbly illustrated book is not only of interest to local people and visitors to the abbey but also to anyone with an interest in architectural history, medieval culture, or the natural beauty of the Lake District.
