Jervaulx Abbey
(redirected from Jervaulx)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Jervaulx Abbey

Ruined Cistercian monastery in North Yorkshire, England, on the banks of the River Ure, 8 km/5 mi southeast of Leyburn. The abbey was founded in 1156. The remains of the cruciform church, the cloistral courts, chapter-house, refectory, and nine-windowed dormitory, belong to the Transitional Norman or Early English period.

The last abbot was hanged in 1537 because he was implicated in the Pilgrimage of Grace (1536–37), a rebellion against Henry VIII.
