The monks lived in Furness Abbey from its founding in 1127 until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1537. Over those nearly 410 years, the abbey became one of the wealthiest and most influential Cistercian monasteries in England. After the dissolution, the site fell into disrepair, but the remains of the abbey still stand today as a historical monument.
