The shattered remnants of Sawley Abbey set against the brooding backdrop of Pendle Hill. Founded in 1147 by Cistercian monks, it was destroyed in the Dissolution in 1536 during the reign of Henry VIII. In 2009 the ruins featured in an episode of the TV series 'The Tudors'. In the care of English Heritage. Pen and ink, ink wash on gesso textured watercolour paper.
