BOLTON ABBEY.
This is situated on the bank of the Wharfe, about six miles from Skipton, in Yorkshire. It is incorrectly called an abbey, having been really a priory, established here in iii. The present beautiful ruins are those of the church. In ancient days the choir was used as the priory chapel, and the nave as a parish church, for which purpose it is still employed. Bolton flail, a seat of the Duke of Devonshire, near and to the west of the church, preserves in the entrance hail, in the centre, what was once the gatehouse of the priory; but the rest of the mansion is modern. The total length of the church is about 230 feet; but the nave, as now used, is only about 88 feet; the Early English west front is extremely beautiful. A central tower appears to have been begun but never finished.
