| Description | Margam Abbey (St. Mary the Virgin), 16 June 2015. In 1147 Robert the Consul, Earl of Gloucester founded a Cistercian Abbey on the site of an old Celtic monastery. The present Abbey and Church was built 1175-80, in Norman style. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, Margam Abbey fell into ruin but part of the Abbey Church became the parish church, although the present 115 ft long church is less than half the length of the original which was 275 feet, one of the longest in Wales. The church was very heavily restored in 1805 and the roof lowered, requiring the original clerestory windows to be blocked-up. The grounds of Margam Castle (seen in the distance), including the remains of the Abbey and Parish Church. After the monastery's dissolution, Sir Rice Mansel of Oxwich was given the estate by Henry VIII and Sir Rice built the adjacent stately home, Margam Castle, from the stones of the Abbey. |
