Summary

Description
English: Salley Abbey, near to Sawley, Lancashire, Great Britain.

Sawley Abbey or Salley Abbey - it is known by both names.
Founded by William de Percy in 1147 as a Cistercian Monastery and operated for nearly 400 years - although never enjoying much wealth. This did not stop the tyrant Henry VIII dissolving the house, and executing the last abbot for his involvement in the Pilgrimage of Grace .

The photograph shows what is left of the chapel.
