Scope and Content Jedburgh Abbey, Scottish Borders, from south-west This view from the south-west, taken in about 1887, shows three bays of the north side of the nave adjacent to the north transept. The caps of the columns are of the water-leaf pattern. The nave was probably completed in the late 12th century. The nave was used by the canons and by lay people. 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.
