| Description | Rievaulx. New Helmsley, Yorkshire. An important Cistercian house, founded in 1131, its first Abbot was St. William, personal secretary to St. Bernard. The choir and refectory are magnificent examples of the 13th c. (early English) style, which contrasts the simplicity of the earlier 12th c. nave and great cloister. |
