So it was time to hit up Greyabbey again....but this time you'll have a better view. new FPV cam ready to Ripp!! we headed to the spot after work so it was late, to begin with, but we got a few packs in before the sun started to set. we flew on into the night, it got so dark that when I took my FPV goggles off I had to use a torch to pack up lol. Also, tried a new video style.....let me know what you think !! Now onto the history lesson........ Grey Abbey is a ruined Cistercian priory in the village of Greyabbey. Grey Abbey was founded in 1193, by John de Courcy's wife, Affreca (daughter of Godred Olafsson, King of the Isles), as a daughter house of Holmcultram Abbey in Cumbria. It had declined by the late Middle Ages and was dissolved in 1541. It was burnt out by Brian O'Neill in 1572. It was granted to Sir Hugh Montgomery who re-roofed the abbey in 1626 and refurbished it for use as a parish church. It was used until 1778. The remains consist of a church with cloister and surrounding buildings to the south. Entry is through an elaborate west door, into an aisleless nave, transepts with two chapels in each and a short chancel with tall lancet windows. The buildings around the cloister include an aisled chapter house and a refectory with reader's pulpit, although the west range and cloister walks have disappeared. Three buttresses on the south wall of the nave are part of a conservation programme carried out early in the 20th century. In the north wall of the choir is an effigy tomb which may be that of Affreca, while an armoured knight figure in the north transept may represent John de Courcy. There are also monuments dedicated to the Montgomery family from the 17th and 18th centuries. So after your history lesson, all that's left to do is sit back and enjoy the ride!! I can't thank you all enough for taking the time to watch my vids.... Cheers everyone !!!!!! Music by :Two Feet - Go Fck Yourself You know what to do ..........Like, Comment and subscribe !!!!!!!!
