Valle Crucis Abbey
Llantysilio, Denbighshire, Wales
The Abbey was founded in 1201 by Madog ap Gruffydd Maelor, on the site of a temporary wooden church and was the last Cistercian monastery to be built in Wales.
Madog was buried in the then-completed abbey upon his death in 1236. Not long after Madog's death, it is believed that a serious fire badly damaged the abbey.
Madog's heraldic slab was excavated from the site in 1956.
