Scope and Content Melrose Abbey, Scottish Borders, from west-south-west This view from the west-south-west, taken in 1913, shows the presbytery (chancel) of the abbey church, looking from the east end of the nave. The pattern of the tracery in the east window has been influenced by the Perpendicular style popular in England at the time. Part of the nave was adapted as the parish church after the Reformation, and roofed with a new barrel vault. A belfry was set on top of the gable of the south transept. Melrose Abbey was the first Cistercian abbey in Scotland, founded here in 1136 by King David I. Much of the abbey was destroyed in the 14th century, and it was rebuilt in a more elaborate manner between 1385 and the 16th century, though the west end of the church was never completed.
