Furness Abbey

Furness Abbey is located in Cumbria a few mile north of Barrow-in-Furness. It was initially founded by Savignac monks in 1127 but was taken over by the Cistercians twenty years later. A small amount of the church remains to its original height including the trancepts and choir. Five arches of the east side of the cloister constructed from local red sandstone remain showing how skilled the original builders of the abbey were. The rest of the buildings have been robbed of their stone but the wall foundations can still be seen at ground level. Furness was one of the wealthiest Cistercian abbeys in England.

1: Location

Old Wardour Castle appears to be aligned to ancient sites in the Stonehenge landscape.

2: Alignment

Stonehenge is aligned to the Summer Solstice. Old Wardour has a very similar alignment.

3: Size

Could the builders of Old Wardour used mesaurements from Stonehenge to layout the geometrical keep?
