Description: Salley Abbey, near to Sawley, Lancashire, Great Britain. Sawley Abbey or Salley Abbey - it is known by both names. Founded by William de Percy in 1147 as a Cistercian Monastery and operated for nearly 400 years - although never enjoying much wealth. This did not stop the tyrant Henry VIII dissolving the house, and executing the last abbot for his involvement in the Pilgrimage of Grace. The photograph shows what is left of the chapel.
