More about this scene
From the 12th century, the rearing of sheep for their wool became a major source of revenue for the monastic houses in the north of England. The largest producer in the county was Croxden Abbey with at least 7,000 sheep. Burton Abbey had around 6,000 and Dieulacres Abbey about 5,000. These flocks were, however, insignificant when set against those of the great Yorkshire monasteries of Fountains, Rievaulx and Kirkstall.
