the internet is currently fascinated with #Cistercian numerals.

The magnificent west front of #BylandAbbey, with part of its colossal rose window remaining (model for York Minster's marvel) remaining. It gets a fraction of the attention of the other #Cistercian houses, but has many fascinating features. #WindowsOnWednesday #NorthYorkshire

A monochrome photograph of the ruins of Baltinglass Abbey in County Wicklow, Ireland. The view is framed by a stone archway in the foreground, looking out to the central bell tower and the remains of the abbey's walls. The sky is slightly cloudy and the ground is covered in small stones and graves. A black wrought-iron gate stands slightly ajar to the right, leading into the ancient grounds.
