This beautifully illustrated celebration of Furness Abbey, second only to Fountains Abbey in wealth, argues that the impact of the Abbey on the landscape and in the mind of the visitor is as strong today and that the Dissolution did not end the Abbey's history. The ruin of Furness Abbey is used as a case study to explore the influence of ecclesiastical ruins on romantic painters and writers, on antiquarians and archaeologists and the problem of when and how a ruin should be conserved. Illustrated throughout with reproductions of engravings, photographs and colour plans.
A fascinating collection of images showing how Furness Abbey, its surroundings and land holdings have changed across the last century and more.
