Jervaulx Journey
During the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s, Jervaulx Abbey was closed, its property sold and its wealth redistributed. Fortunately, some of its fixtures, fittings and furnishings were salvaged and some of these have found their way into local parish churches. As a result, it is not uncommon to find relatively modest churches containing magnificent remnants from the Abbey.
Starting at Jervaulx Abbey, the map above aims to help you plan a journey to a number of the local villages where churches containing fascinating artefacts saved from the Abbey can be found.
Click on the red push pins on the map to read more about the items removed from Jervaulx Abbey many centuries ago that can now be found in many nearby parish churches.
