Whilst in the Forest of Dean we visited Tintern Abbey.
Tintern was only the second Cistercian foundation in
Britain, and the first in Wales. It was first built in 1131 and was a bustling
monastery until on September 3, 1536 Abbot Wyche surrendered Tintern Abbey to
King Henry VIII’s officials and ended a way of life which had lasted 400 years.
Conservation work has been completed on the iconic
13th-century west front – one of the great glories of Gothic architecture in
Britain.
Below is a small collection of images from the shoot.
I’d be interested to know what you think.
