Tintern Abbey: Exploring Roger Bigod's Great Abbey Church in Tintern, Wales

We had thought we would have to skip Tintern Abbey to save time, but since we signed up for the Cadw Explorer Pass at Chepstow we got into Tintern Abbey free. How could we resist free? I don't remember why Tintern Abbey was on our list, but several de Clares and children of William Marshal are buried there.

Tintern Abbey is a fairly short drive from Chepstow. The abbey is located in the Wye River valley near the village of the same name. It was founded by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow, on 9 May 1131 on the Welsh side of the river. Little of the original buildings remain, though a concrete outline on the ground mark where it used to be. The monks of Tintern were Cistercian, or White Monks, of the Benedictine order. They lived an austere life and focused their work on agriculture.

The building complex of Tintern Abbey was built over a period of 400 years. Besides the usual cloister and monk's quarters it included an infirmary which treated the ill and injured from the surrounding area. During the 13th century, following a generous grant by Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk, the great church was built. Although work continued for decades, the church was first used in 1288 and consecrated in 1301. The stained glass of the East window contained Roger Bigod's coat of arms in thanks to him.

The remains of the great church are still seen today. It was built of Old Red Sandstone in the Gothic style popular in that day. Its color ranged from purple to buff and grey, though it was probably whitewashed. It is 228 feet long and 150 feet wide at the transept.

The abbey suffered a labor shortage after the Black Death devastated the country in 1349, and some of the church properties were destroyed during the Welsh uprising under Owain Glyndwr in the 15th century. The most damage was done after the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII. The church was surrendered to the king's visitors on 3 September 1536. The valuables were removed to the Royal Treasury and the building granted to the lord of Chepstow, Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester. The lead from the roof was sold and the rest of the structure allowed to decay.

During the 17th and 18th centuries the ruins were used as housing by the workers at the local wireworks. However, in the 18th century interest in the romantic ruins in the wilds of the country increased, and the abbey became one of the stops on tours by boat along the Wye River which included Chepstow Castle. Tourists were captivated by the ivy-covered walls, and artists and poets made Tintern Abbey the object of their creative efforts. Access was made easier in 1829 when the Wye Valley turnpike was completed, and the Wye Valley Railway opened a station in Tintern in 1876.

The renewed interest in ruined abbeys as historic and architectural treasures led to the purchase of Tintern Abbey from the Duke of Beaufort in 1901, and restoration began in 1914. Cadw took over care of the abbey in 1984.

Leonard Butler : Monastique (Tintern Abbey)

More from the British composer Leonard Butler (1869-1943). I know little about him except that he was born in Dorking (which is in the Surrey Hills), studied with Ebenezer Prout, later became a professor of piano at the Guildhall School in London, and died in St. Austell. He seems to gave specialised in liturgical and organ music, but also wrote some picturesque piano suites - rather in the manner of Alfred Mullen and Percy Elliott. He had a real gift for short lively light pieces, but here is a more stately one, from 1921- marked 'Alla cappella' in the score. It is an evocation of a ruined British monastery, near Chepstow: .
