An Account of Valle Crucis Abbey, Llangollen, and All the Recent Discoveries
Transcribed by David Price from the 1891 Hugh Jones, Llangollen, edition
"An Account of Valle Crucis Abbey, Llangollen, and All the Recent Discoveries," authored by Hugh Jones, is a historical account published in the late 19th century, specifically in 1891. This book explores the architectural and historical significance of Valle Crucis Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1200 in a picturesque valley near Llangollen, Wales. It delves into the ruins of the Abbey and highlights recent archaeological discoveries, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its heritage and the context in which it was built. The narrative provides a detailed overview of the Abbey's structure, history, and the community of monks that once inhabited it. Jones discusses the architectural features of the Abbey, including the unique cruciform design, ancient Gothic elements, and other notable constructions associated with the Cistercian Order. Furthermore, the book presents findings from excavations that unearthed tombstones, artifacts, and the remnants of significant structures. It narrates the Abbey's economic importance and its dissolution in the late 1530s, along with its subsequent neglect and the efforts made in the late 19th century to restore and preserve part of its remains. Throughout, Jones seeks to convey the cultural and historical ramifications of the Abbey, emphasizing its significance in Welsh heritage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
