Easby Abbey Churches
The remains of the Easby Abbey stand by the River Swale near Richmond. The abbey was founded in 1152 by Roald, Constable of Richmond Castle, for the Premonstratensian order ("white canons"). They undertook preaching and pastoral work in the region (such as distributing meat and drink) but followed a code of austerity similar to that of Cistercian monks. Another Premonstraterian house in the area is the Egglestone Abbey near Barnard Castle.
