Description


Thornton Abbey grew into one of the richest Augustnian moasteries in England with most of the income coming from the wool trade, the principle source of prosperity for the region. In 1313 wool sales yielded more than £800 profit for the abbey a huge sum of money in the Middle Ages. Two complete sided of the octagonal Chapter House, completed in 1308, indicate the scale and grandeur of the abbey buildings. It was an enclosed space of regular form and brilliantly lit with great windows. The interior was a perfect architectural creation, its proportions and form rich with symbolism. Almost at the end of my Northern Tour now. In fact these photos were taken on the trip home. Thank you for looking, as always any comments or suggestions welcome 8~) ** BEST VIEWED FULLSIZE ** Thank you for the comments on my last upload thumb_1902852.jpg

Very interesting to see the added perspective distortion of a wide angle lens?
