history
The monastery was founded in 1151 by Augustinian Canons on the banks of the River Wharfe who received land from Lady Alice de Romille from Skipton Castle in 1154 . In the early 14th century, looting by Scots caused severe damage to the buildings and the temporary abandonment of the monastery. After the monastery was dissolved in 1170 , the monastery church became a parish church. It was finally abandoned in 1539 . The nave of the church is used as the Anglican parish church dedicated to Saints Mary and Cuthbert.
The ruins of the monastery can still be visited and have been immortalized in art and literature, including a painting by Edwin Landseer and a watercolor by William Turner , now in the British Museum.
Furthermore, it was William Wordsworth's poem " The White Doe of Rylstone " inspired by a visit to Bolton Abbey in 1807th
