C) JUSTIFICATION The United Kingdom is nominating to the World Heritage List two groups of monuments located in the immediate surroundings of Studley Royal Park and administered by the National Trust : the ruins of Fountains Abbey and St. Mary's, a neo-Gothic style church. The abbey, which was founded in 1132 by thirteen monks of St. Mary's of York who were searching for an ideal of life in closer keeping with St. Benoit's teachings, owes its success to its early affiliation with the Cistercian order: as early as 1133, Fountains (Sancta Maria de Fontibus) was recognized as a daughter house of Clairvaux. St. Bernard sent Geoffroi d'Ainay, one of his favorite disciples, there to supervise the construction of the first buildings. From the very start the abbey benefitted from large donations. In 1135 the Dean of the Chapter of York, along with two canons, retired there with his library and his fortune. The precarious community which Abbot Richard wished to place under the protection of St. Bernard was saved. In the 13th century its land wealth grew to enormous proportions and as some contemporaries observed, one could cover 30 miles (48km) without ever leaving the lands of the abbey.

Climatic changes have potentially serious implications for the historic environment, which is itself a non-renewable resource. Cultural heritage sites can be particularly sensitive to severe weather events and to changes in climate, both due to direct impacts on built structures, archaeology and designed landscapes, but also due to changes in visitor behaviour and the potentially adverse implications of adaptive measures on heritage significance.

    Proposal for a Buffer Zone for the World Heritage Site of Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey Submission to the World Heritage Centre February 2012 Studley Royal, including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey, Buffer Zone submission Dec 2011 1 PROPOSAL FOR A BUFFER ZONE FOR THE WORLD HERITAGE SITE OF STUDLEY ROYAL PARK INCLUDING THE RUINS OF FOUNTAINS ABBEY - SUBMISSION TO THE WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE FEBRUARY 2012 Prepared by the National Trust and English Heritage December 2011 Introduction Although the area within the boundary of the World Heritage Site is unlikely to be subject to development proposals which adversely impact upon its outstanding universal value (due to the fact that it is wholly managed by the National Trust), outside the designated World Heritage Site there are a number of developments which could, potentially, threaten its outstanding universal value. For example large scale or poorly sited renewable energy schemes, large-scale agricultural developments, and inappropriately sited buildings could harm its setting or key views into and out of the designated area. Since 2001 there has been a proposal in the Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal World Heritage Site Management Plan to establish a buffer zone for Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey World Heritage Site. The requirement for a buffer zone was again raised in the Periodic Monitoring Report 2006. The Periodic Monitoring Report stated that the boundaries of the site were inadequate and there was a need to define a formal buffer zone. It stated ‘Although the World Heritage Site boundary covers the core area of the designed landscape, some significant features lie outside.

  • Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal
    Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal The Historic Environment Resource Pack for KS3 and KS4 History Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal The Historic Environment 1 Introduction This resource pack provides a guide to how Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal could be used as the Historic Environment for the OCR GCSE History B (SHP) specification. Studley Royal Park, including the ruins of Fountains Abbey, World Heritage Site is a masterpiece of human creativity. It is a complex historical site covering nearly 900 years of history all on the one estate. The abbey is one of the largest and best-preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England making it a fantastic resource when studying medieval history and the dissolution of the monasteries. When the Fountains estate, also containing a medieval mill and the Jacobean Fountains Hall, was purchased by William Aislabie in 1767, the abbey became a part of a magnificent Georgian water garden. The landscape of the parkland holds a lovely Victorian high gothic church, and the current work of the National Trust and English Heritage provide evidence of how the lives of so many people continue to shape the estate. The contents of this pack provide teachers with some sources and initial ideas for use in your teaching, and outlines how each of the OCR SHP site study criteria (a-n) may be exemplified and supplemented by a site visit. Contact details to arrange a visit are available at the end of the pack. The teaching content of this resource is endorsed by OCR for use with specification GCSE (9-1) History B (Schools History Project) (J411).

At that time, English Heritage conserved the hall ‘as found’ complete with 20th-century family clutter as well as the faded glory of its grand state rooms. Instigated by English Heritage, work is currently in progress to carry out much needed measures in order to halt the decay of this Victorian country house. The conservation work is a one year project, and it is expected to be completed sometime towards the end of 2017. Also included will be the major work to repair the revolving window shutters, mend leaking skylights and renew the heating system. Visitors to Brodsworth Hall during this time will experience conservation in action, and a new exhibition will enable them to discover more about the challenges of caring for the Hall. To ensure that the delicate contents of the Hall are protected from the dust and debris created by this work, some protection has been installed around the house, and hoarding has also been put up in the rooms where the work will take place, to allow conservators and experts to undertake their repairs safely.
