Nobleman, De Clare was granted lordship of the land by King Henry I of England. Construction of the Abbey took over 100 years, from 1131 to 1230. It was established as a monastery for the Cistercian monks, who adhered to a strict code of simplicity and isolation. What remains of the Abbey is a mixture of architecture from 1131 to 1536. After this period the Abbey fell into decline, due to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The dissolution was enacted by Henry VIII, between 1536 to 1541, where church land across England, Wales and Ireland was confiscated and transferred to the Crown. Lead from the roof tiles was sold, industries set up around the area - factories and furnaces, quarries in the hills and charcoal was made in the woods. The Abbey suffered from all this pollution and the ruins were inhabited by the workers. The building decaying more and more over time. In the 18th century visiting remote parts of the country became a popular pursuit. The Abbey ruins gathered attention, and were romanticised by artists.
