EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Flaxley Abbey: A 12th Century Cistercian Masterpiece in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England Flaxley Abbey, nestled in the heart of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England, is a captivating testament to the architectural grandeur and spiritual significance of the Middle Ages. Founded in the 12th century by Roger, Earl of Hereford, this Cistercian abbey is a masterpiece of Norman architecture that continues to inspire awe and wonder. The abbey's tranquil setting, surrounded by the verdant forest, adds to its mystique. Established in 1131, Flaxley Abbey was part of a wave of monastic foundations that swept across Europe during the Middle Ages, as the Cistercian Order sought to replicate the monastic ideal of the "New Monasteries" – self-sufficient communities that focused on agriculture, prayer, and the pursuit of knowledge. The abbey's design is characterized by its simple, yet elegant architecture. The main building, with its soaring arches and intricate stonework, reflects the Order's commitment to harmony between man and nature. The monks lived in communal quarters, worked the land, and dedicated their lives to prayer and contemplation. Flaxley Abbey's rich history is marked by periods of prosperity and decline. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the abbey was dissolved, and its buildings were largely dismantled. However, the site has since been restored, and today, it stands as a popular tourist destination and a reminder of England's rich monastic heritage. The print showcases the abbey's impressive architecture, with its intricate stonework and soaring arches, set against the backdrop of the Forest of Dean. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the enduring allure of the Middle Ages and the spiritual journey that continues to inspire us today.
