Jedburgh Abbey
Website
Jedburgh
Jedburgh Abbey's remarkably complete Romanesque and early Gothic buildings have a tranquil stillness which belies their turbulent history. The Abbey's grand design was inspired by Europe's magnificent churches, and was founded in 1138 by David I. For the abbey's community of Augustinian canons, its location frequently landed them amid conflict. When Anglo-Scottish relations deteriorated after 1296, Jedburgh became a frontline target for English armies. The Reformation heralded the abbey's final decline. Despite this, it was used as the local church up to 1875, after which it became disused. The visitor centre contains 8th century carvings and artefacts excavated from the abbey grounds. Visitors can also enjoy the interactive play area within the carved stone display.
