Scope and Content Jedburgh Abbey, Scottish Borders, from west This view from the west, taken in about 1887, shows the nave of the abbey church, looking towards the now vanished east end. The wooden trusses are to stabilise the structure of the building, as are the raked supports at the far end, on the left. They have all since been superseded by invisible bracing. Jedburgh was less badly treated than the other Border abbey churches in the English raids of the later Middle Ages. After the Reformation the transepts and crossing became the parish church, and in 1671 this move into the nave. The vault of the crossing collapsed in 1743. Jedburgh Abbey was founded on the site of a 9th-century church in about 1138, when Augustinian Canons were brought over from France. The choir, crossing and transepts of the abbey church were complete by 1174. The nave had been built by 1220, and the original east end had been reconstructed by 1220.
