The discovery was made at Fountains Abbey, a Cistercian abbey, founded in 1132. Located in North Yorkshire, it is one of the largest and best preserved abbeys in England. According to the National Foundation for Historic Places of Significance o UK Natural Beauty – NT, the function of the bowling alley’s long lanes “has always been a mystery to scientists”. With the help of ground-penetrating radar, scientists found two large stone buildings. The width of the remains of the structure is about 16 meters. One of the buildings is at least 32 meters tall, over a floor high, entity details, wells and cisterns were also found on the site. This, combined with the discovery’s proximity to the River Skell – a major requirement of the tanning process – allows us to infer the presence of a tannery at the service of the monastery community. The leather produced is used in clothing and book and manuscript bindings for scribes to produce religious texts. It is believed that the tannery operated until 1539.

16 meters. At least one of the buildings has
32 meters And more than a high story,
details the body.
Wells and cisterns were also found on the site. This, combined with the discovery’s proximity to the River Skell – a major requirement of the tanning process – allows us to infer the presence of a tannery at the service of the monastery community.
“A tannery of this size, covering a large area of the site, reveals a process on an industrial scale, catering to the needs of hides and other manufactured animal hides for a community of hundreds of people in the growing monastic community. Its scope also reflects an aspect of the monastic community,” NT archaeologist Mark Newman explained. The productivity of the huge flocks acquired and managed by the monastery.”
