| The interior of the magnificent vaulted Chapter House complete with medieval floor tiles at the famous Buildwas Abbey in Shropshire. This was originally a Savignac monastery built in 1135 by Roger de Clinton, Bishop of Coventry but in 1147 the Savignacs merged with the Cistercians. This then became the Cistercian Abbey of St Mary and St Chad. It was closed in 1536 during Henry Vlll`s Dissolution of the Monasteries. |
