Transcription: Fountains Abbey, strictly speaking, is the Abbey of St Mary's. It's called Fountains because the French, who were very influential still in Britain at the time, referred to the springs in the hillside from which the monks drew fresh water as fountains. But a lot of tourists think that the monks chose wonderful sites. In fact, it was a wilderness by a riverside in almost a ravine.
