This is Rievaulx Abbey, near Helmsley in the North York Moors. The Abbey was founded in 1131 by Abbott William of the Cistercian Order (which was originally founded in Citeaux, Burgundy, France - they obviously liked to get about a bit!), and was the first Abbey in Yorkshire. It will have been inhabited by monks until it was put to ruin as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1535, by King Henry VIII (who had a bit of a falling out with the Pope in Rome over wanting to get a divorce, so founded his own version of Christianity where he called the shots.... and decided to confiscate the Roman Catholic land to make a bit of extra cash :-)
