Tintern Abbey added to Places of Worship in Wales by clinkadink on 03/01/2022

TOAL was from the bank of the Wye River, behind the Abbey's carpark.

Tintern Abbey is a national icon - still standing in roofless splendour on the banks of the River Wye nearly 500 years since its tragic fall from grace.

It was founded in 1131 by Cistercian monks, who were happy to make do with timber buildings at first. Abbot Henry, a reformed robber, was better known for his habit of crying at the altar than for his architectural ambitions.

A simple stone church and cloisters came later. But then, thanks to the patronage of wealthy Marcher lords, the white-robed monks began to think bigger.

In 1269 they began to build a new abbey church and didn’t stop until they’d created one of the masterpieces of British Gothic architecture. The great west front with its seven-lancet window and the soaring arches of the nave still take the breath away.

So grateful were the monks to their powerful patron Roger Bigod that they were still handing out alms on his behalf in 1535. But by then King Henry VIII’s English Reformation was well underway.

Only a year later Tintern surrendered in the first round of the dissolution of the monasteries - and the great abbey began slowly to turn into a majestic ruin.

Tilehurst Water Tower (By apreading)

Erected in 1932, Tilehurst Water Tower, is an iconic landmark on the ridge line in Tilehurst, a district in the Western part of Reading. People from Reading know they are near home when they are coming along the M4 from the West and they can see the top of the tower, several miles before they get to Junction 12.

In November 2018 the tower was illuminated in poppy red to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War. The tower remained illuminated, and visible at night from a wide area, until Remembrance Day on 11 November.

It still fulfils its function as a water tower today, and at the top it also houses a number of telephone masts and receivers and also the transmitter for Greatest Hits Radio Berkshire & North Hampshire, a local radio station.

The tower holds a huge 900,000 litres of water, in two 4.5 metre deep tanks and provides around 10 per cent all the water used in Reading, serving 12,000 homes and businesses.
