Easby Abbey: Exterior View of the Refectory, North Yorkshire (circa 1900) This stunning photograph captures the exterior view of the refectory at Easby Abbey, located in the picturesque county of North Yorkshire, England. Dating back to the late 12th century, Easby Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery that once housed a community of monks. The refectory, or monks' dining hall, was a central part of the monastic life where the monks would gather to eat, study, and socialize. The photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the architectural beauty and grandeur of the abbey's refectory. The building's intricate stonework, with its pointed arches and delicate carvings, is accentuated by the soft light filtering through the lantern at the top of the structure. The tranquil surroundings, with their lush greenery and peaceful atmosphere, add to the serene and contemplative mood of the image. This photograph is part of the Box 1 Boswell Collection Series of Abbeys, a collection of lantern slides that showcase various English abbeys and monasteries. The series provides a valuable record of these historic sites, offering insights into their architectural and historical significance. This particular image of Easby Abbey's refectory is a testament to the rich heritage and cultural importance of England's monastic past.
