View of the exterior remains of the abbey
The west end of the abbey church. The lower part
is 13th century, the
upper (with the rose window) were repaired in the mid-14th century
Parts of the Chapter House are still somewhat
complete and give a glimpse at what
the abbey may have been like in medieval times
The stone screen which fronts the book cupboard.
A stone window with wonderful tracery work.
Possibly a fragment from the tomb of Madog ap
Gruffudd Maelor, founder of
Valle Crucis. The carving is very similar to that of the tomb
of Princess Joan
(wife of Llywelyn Fawr) in Beaumaris Church
From the tomb of Madog ap Gruffudd, great-grandson
of the Abbey's founder.
He in turn was the great-grandfather of Owain Glyndwr.
