Selby Abbey

A Collection of photographs of Selby Abbey  in Selby North Yorkshire.  The abbey is almost 1000 years old and is still in remarkably good condition, this despite being almost destroyed by fire in 1906.  The building has many 'claims to fame' including being the birth place of King Henry I and having a stained glass windows bearing the coat of arms of George Washington's family (from which the American flag was derived).

Like the nearby York Minster, Selby Abbey is a great photographic subject with many fine details easily missed when trying to capture the grandeur of the building as a whole.
