A front view of Fountains Abbey, near Ripon, UK: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=16519777&size=lg
The place is vast, and extremely impressive (that's a family with a stroller in the lower left corner). It was built in 1132-1147, and was a monastery until Henry VIII dissolved them in 1539. Besides the batterings of nature, various owners sold off or used the stone as building material to reduce the place to ruins. (K-5, DA 16-45) A few more views coming! Comments always appreciated.
