Scope and Content Jedburgh Abbey, Scottish Borders, from south-east This view from the south-east, taken in about 1887, shows the abbey church, with the remains of the presbytery (chancel) to the right of the tower. To the right of the taller section are the remains of the end as rebuilt by 1220. Note that the two lower arches in the presbytery are round-headed. 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.
