I quite like this quote when I went to get some refreshments at the Talley Abbey Tearoom after walking around the Abbey.
Talley Abbey in Carmarthenshire was founded in the 1180s by Rhys ap Gruffydd (‘The Lord Rhys’, native ruler of the south Wales kingdom of Deheubarth) for the monks of the Premonstratensian order. This was the first and only abbey in Wales for the Premonstratensians, monks who were also known as the ‘White Canons’ from the colour of their habit.
