Valle Crucis Abbey

One of the Unique Selling Points for the siting of a Cistercian monastery was that it should be in a quiet spot away from human habitation, this site was not, so the residents of Llanegwestl very kindly moved to Stansty which is now part of Wrexham where they became staunch supporters of Wrexham Football Club.
This you see here is the south wing and the upper part was the monks' dormitory, below is the sacristy, the book cupboard, the chapter house and the passage through to the abbots dwelling.. The remains of the wall in the foreground marks the monks' refectory.
