For Pilgrims sought here a relic fine!
Mentioned by Chaucer, so do not fail
To find the ruin, and Pardon the Tale!

Founded in 1232,
And now a famous Potter,
Has left his mark too!

- A watery Abbey!
Founded in 1132.
Now a beautifully preserved,
Romantic ruin to view.

A word above, should ring a bell!
Was built by the river Severn,
And is now a roofless shell.
