Silent Sunday….. Off the Church

Ironbridge-066do_RAW a

Buildwas Abbey, nr. Much Wenlock, Shropshire 

Nestling on flat ground on the banks of the River Severn can be found the ruins of Buildwas Abbey. Buildwas was a Cistercian Monastery founded around 1135.  Prospered and expanded over many years, but like all Monasteries suffered as a result of Henry VIII dissolution of Monasteries Act of 1536.

What is left is still worth exploring…
