This lovely plate depicts a view of Tintern Abbey looking from across the river Wye, all enveloped into a full landscape of trees and hills along either side and in the background. What a stunning setting!
The border is a particularly pretty combination of daisies and small flowers.
The rim is gold trimmed and gently scalloped.
Tintern Abbey was large and prosperous from its founding. Many came there to
seek the religious life, so many that Tintern monks founded a number of additional abbeys in their turn, including Tintern Parva in Ireland and Kingswood Abbey in Glouchestershire. Tintern was spared the torches of Edward II's men, but not Henry VIII's Law of Supression. Richard Wych, the last Abbot of Tintern surrendered the abbey to be dissolved in 1536. The land and properties were then given to the Earl of Somerset.
Measures: 7 1/8”
