Capture Ireland #3: Tintern Abbey, Powerful Abbey Born Of A Norman Shipwreck
Tintern Abbey, Powerful Abbey Born Of A Norman Shipwreck is the episode #3 in the Capture Ireland video series by Skytango.
In Tintern Abbey, Powerful Abbey Born Of A Norman Shipwreck, Sean Cooke of Hook Head Safaris tells us about the origin of Tintern Abbey in Co.Wexford, Ireland, built c. 1203.
Tintern Abbey was said to have been founded when the powerful Norman knight William Marshal was struck by a storm off the east coast and was close to sinking.
He vowed to God that if he safely reached the shore, he would found an abbey wherever he landed. He managed to get ashore at Bannow Bay in County Wexford, and Marshal kept his vow, granting 3,500 hectares to the Cistercian order to establish an abbey. Hence Tintern was occasionally called ‘Tintern de Voto’ or ‘Tintern of the Vow’.
Tintern became a wealthy and powerful Cistercian foundation, and later was turned into a fashionable but fortified private home, property of the Colclough family which lived there till the 1960s.

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.

Description
Colclough Walled Garden, Tintern Abbey, Hook Peninsula
I was viewing some photos I recently took in the walled garden built by the Colclough (pronounced Coke-lee) family at Tintern Abbey, on the Hook Peninsula. I had a few romantic thoughts looking at the flowers in the photos so I included a musical version of Yeats's Down by the Sally Gardens by Maura O'Connell on the album, Transatlantic Sessions, Series 2, Vol 3.

Tintern Abbey
Tintern Abbey (Welsh: Abaty Tyndyrn, About this sound pronunciation in Welsh (help·info)) was founded by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow, on 9 May 1131. It is situated adjacent to the village of Tintern in Monmouthshire, on the Welsh bank of the River Wye, which forms the border between Monmouthshire in Wales and Gloucestershire in England. It was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain, and the first in Wales. Falling into ruin after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the remains were celebrated in poetry and often painted by visitors from the 18th century onwards. In 1984 Cadw took over responsibility for the site. For more info visit:

Tintern Abbey By Drone
A quick video of the flight I have done a while ago around Tintern Abby using the drone, while out with my dad for the day.
It's a short one as I had to move on due to people not liking the drone around but still got some great video.
