Sweetheart Abbey, New Abbey, Dumfries, Scotland
Sweetheart Abbey
Sweetheart Abbey (Gd: An Abaid Ur), 8 miles (13 km) south of Dumfries, near to the Nith in south-west Scotland, was a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1275 by Dervorguilla of Galloway, daughter of Alan, Lord of Galloway, in memory of her husband John de Balliol. His embalmed heart, in a casket of ivory and silver, was buried alongside her when she died; the monks at the Abbey then renamed the Abbey in tribute to her. Their son, also John, became king of Scotland but his reign was tragic and short. The depredations suffered by the Abbey in subsequent periods, have caused both the graves to be lost. The abbey, built in deep-red, local sandstone, was founded as a daughter house to Dundrennan Abbey; this Novum Monasterium (New Monastery), became known as the New Abbey.

Sweetheart Abbey - Scotland UK | DJI Mavic Air
The Abbey of Dulce Cor, better known as Sweetheart Abbey, was a Cistercian monastery founded in 1275 in what is now the village of New Abbey, in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire in Dumfries and Galloway, 8 miles (13 km) south of Dumfries.
The immediate abbey precincts extended to 30 acres (120,000 m2) and sections of the surrounding wall can still be seen today. The abbey church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, in common with all Cistercian monasteries, measures 203 feet (62 m), and the central tower rose to a height of 92 feet (28 m).
The Abbot of Sweetheart was a member of the First Estate and sat ex officio in the Parliament. The Cistercian Order—whose members were commonly known as the White Monks because of the white cowl which they wear over their religious habit—built many great abbeys after their establishment around 1100. Like many of their abbeys, the New Abbey's interests lay not only in prayer and contemplation but in the farming and commercial activity of the area, making it the centre of local life.
During the First War of Scottish Independence, King Edward I of England himself resided at the abbey in 1300, while campaigning in Galloway. After 50 years of warfare in the region, however, the abbey was left in a dilapidated state. The Bishop of Galloway bemoaned Sweetheart’s outstanding and notorious poverty. Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas (1328-1400), often referred to as Archibald the Grim, became a major benefactor of the abbey and financed wholesale repairs and the rebuilding of the abbey complex. The depredations suffered by the abbey in subsequent periods, however, caused the graves of the foundress and her husband to be lost.
The abbey continued in quiet obscurity until it was eventually suppressed in the Scottish Reformation.

Sweetheart Abbey
The history of Sweetheart Abbey is an unusual love story.
The abbey was founded in 1273 by Lady Devorgilla of Galloway, in memory of her husband John Balliol, who had died in 1268. After her husband died the lovelorn Lady Devorgilla kept his heart in a small ornate ivory casket, trimmed in silver and carried it with her always. Before she died she left orders that the box containing John Balliol’s heart should be buried with her, beneath the high altar of the abbey in 1290, where it remained clasped to her bosom. The monks called the abbey Sweetheart after their founder’s enduring love for her husband. Suitable for Children and Family viewing
New Abbey Corn Mill & Sweetheart Abbey | Barry's Vlogs 54 | Deanstructor
A vlog 18 months in the making. It started as part of a wider vlog that would of included Caerlaverock Castle but I didn't get to Sweetheart Abbey in time. When going to Caerlaverock Castle for a re-enactment event nearly 18 months later I re-visited New Abbey Corn Mill during a time where the mill pond was dry due to the prolonged hot spell we had in the UK this last summer. It also allowed me to go to Sweetheart in what actually was more interesting circumstances.

Ripon: Boxing Day Pilgrimage to Fountains Abbey, North Yorkshire
Expelled monks from St Mary's Abbey in York made their was to Ripon Cathedral and spent Christmas there in 1132. From there they founded the Cistercian Fountains Abbey three miles away in a secluded valley. In 1990 it was decided to re-enact that walk from Ripon Cathedral to Fountains Abbey and it has now become an annual event, ending with a service in the vaulted cloister. The Rev John Packer narrates.

Bringing monastic ruins to life
Set in a deeply wooded valley by the River Rye in North Yorkshire, the remains of Rievaulx Abbey are some of the most spectacular monastic ruins in England. This video shows how much we can learn from the visible evidence to help us understand how the Cistercian monks who lived here organised their lives.
Whilst there were many different orders, all of them followed the same rule laid down by St Benedict. In addition the layout of monasteries follows a common plan. They were communities who lived round a central cloister, a kind of village green, that had a covered way all round. The centre of their lives was worship and so the most important building was the cross-shaped church to the north of the cloister. The Cistercians were a self-sufficient order. Here they had up to 500 lay brethren who farmed the lands, but who were not permitted to worship with the monks. The lay brethren worshipped behind a screen that divided the church in two.
We are shown where the dormitories, the kitchens, refectory and infirmary were located. We also see how the Chapter House was reduced in size and rebuilt as the numbers of monks at Rievaulx dwindled over the centuries. Finally we see how advanced the community was for its time in the provision of an effective sewerage system. The video will help teachers plan a visit to any abbey.
Fountains Abbey
Fountains wurde im Jahr 1132 gegründet, nach einem Streit um die Ausrichtung der Glaubensgemeinschaft aus der St.Marys' Abbey in York, das ausgeschlossen wurde. Nach dem Aufbau des Klosters schlossen sie sich drei Jahre später den Zisterziensern an. Nach Jahren später während eines neuerlichen Aufschwung der Abtei wurde das Kloster jedoch 1539 im Zuge der Klosterauflösungen von Heinrich dem VIII. aufgelöst. Was hier zu sehen vermag, ist die Ruine des Klosters, eine der größten und besterhaltenen Zisterzienseranlagen in England.

Buildwas was founded in 1135 as a Savignac monastery by Roger de Clinton, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield. The Savignac order was merged with the Cistercians in 1147 and the abbey was refounded as the abbey of St Mary and St Chad.
Buildwas Abbey is located along the banks of the River Severn in Buildwas, Shropshire, England, about two miles west of Ironbridge.
