History
The abbey of Fountains was founded in 1132 following an argument and of one riot to the Abbey Mary Saint of York. Following this commotion thirteen monks were banished and, after having vainly tried to return to the Règle of saint Benoît of the beginning of the 6th century, they were taken under the protection of Thurstan, archbishop of York. This one gave them a site in the valley of the Skell. This protected valley had all that was necessary to the foundation of an abbey: hone and wood for construction and a river.The abbey was active until in 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the monastic orders. Buildings and more 2 km ² of grounds were sold by the Crown on October 1st 1540 in Sir Richard Gresham, a London merchant.
