A Son of the Rock

Jedburgh’s main attraction is undoubtedly its mediæval Abbey, founded as a Priory in 1138.

From west:-

From northeast, nearest to the town. Jedburgh’s War Memorial is to the left and down a bit, here:-

Model (in visitor centre) of Abbey circa 1510:-

South doorway, restored I think. Lovely detailing:-

South Aspect. Stitch of two photos. The Abbey isn’t curved in reality:-

Nave and tower:-

Tomb. The aisle contains tombs/graves of the Earls of Lothian:-

Ceiling. It’s not a hammerbeam roof and probably not original. (And I didn’t get it focused):-
