Side of a large stone gothic church, a hillside of green deciduous trees in the background - building is missing its roof, and scars of missing, lower pointed roofs cover the end below the empty, pointed stone window frame which once held stained glass.

Inside the church - walls reaching upwards towards pointed arches with a cloudy sky above. At the far end, an enormous, empty window frame with an implausibly delicate central stone column, revealing a hillside covered in green trees behind.

Side view of the entire ruined church building - enormous in its day, and now very much in a state of arrested decay.

Another view inside the church, roof open to the sky, with glimpses of modern scaffolding - to keep this magnificent place from decaying further.

For #solitudeSaturday - more snapshots from the gorgeously ruined #TinternAbbey. June 2025. (Ruined since the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century - and now held in a state of arrested decay. Recent scaffolding is work to preserve the place as it is...)
