aerial photograph of Lilleshall Abbey Shropshire UK. Lilleshall Abbey was founded during the Anarchy around AD 1145. While the Abbey controlled much of the surrounding area, it was never very prosperous and under the mismanagement of Abbot John of Chetwynd in the 14th century it ran up significant debts. John of Chetwynd was somewhat of a rouge Abbot and various misdeeds are recorded in the history books. While his replacement was much more astute, the Abbey suffered financially during the Black death of AD1348. The Abbey was visited by Richard II and Queen Isabella in AD 1398. The Abbey was finally dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538 and its contents sold off. That was not the end of the Abbey's place in the history books though because during the English Civil War the site was fortified by royalists forces. Parliamentarian forces captured the Abbey however much of the buildings had been destroyed in the bombardment. Mining subsidence caused further destruction in the 19th century but today the site is protected and under the care of English Heritage.

Prints are available from just £50 and usage licences from just £195 - see my price list left and the shopping cart below the photo. The easiest way to navigate this gallery is using the geographic menu on the left. The aerial photographs are all organised in galleries according to their location so start with the county and then choose the town or village. Wales & Scotland are at the bottom under the English Counties. If your looking at a picture and are not sure where it is, click the arrow on the upper right and it will show you which album it is in. Click the album name to see nearby images. There is a search facility ( bottom left ) but this only works with words I have put into it. That's fine for searches of places or well known buildings but in most cases I have not entered road name or a post code. The gallery is only a small part of my collection of UK aerial photographs so please Email if you would like to buy an aerial view of something not shown in the gallery. There are over 25,000 photos in the gallery and I have an archive of around half a million pictures going back to 1999. Although these images are usually referred to as drone photos they are actally taken with aeroplanes and helicopters which is why I can take them from much higher up than drone photographers are allowed to fly. The shopping cart is just a few of the popular items, there are more options starting at just £50 on my prices page. With prints and wall products I can produce any size or style that the photo lab produces, just email for a quote. NB the shopping cart are for standard sizes, many pictures in my gallery are non standard such as panoramic or square. In these cases either the prints need to be made non standard or the image made to fit the print size. Obviously purchase of a print or wall product does not grant rights to make copies for which you also need to buy a licence Prints and Wall Products are made specially to order and therefore cannot be cancelled or refunded so please choose carefully.
