WILLIAM TURNER OF OXFORD (BRITISH, 1789–1862) Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire Signed with initials, inscribed and dated 1837 Pencil on wove paper 20.5 x 34.8cm (8 x 13 3/4in) Hailes Abbey was a 13th Century Cistercian Abbey founded in 1246 by Richard of Cornwall and dissolved in 1539. After the Dissolution, the west range consisting of the Abbot's own apartments was converted into a house and was home to the Tracy family in the seventeenth century, but these buildings were later demolished. The estate was slowly downgraded and only the ruins of a few low arches of the cloisters were left by 1794. William Turner of Oxford depicted these ruined arches in the tranquil and picturesque setting on the edge of the Cotswolds surrounded by ancient trees.
