Ing is a small chapel of great beauty,
with a window of painted glass, repre-
senting the offering of the Magi at the
nativity of Christ; in the hospital is a
valuable library. In addition to the
hospital, Sir William Turner left by
will 5000/., for founding a grammar
school, which was erected in 1709, by
Cholmley Turner, Esq., and is a hand-
some building, but the benevolent pur-
pose for which it was intended has been
discontinued nearly thirty years.

Kirkstall, W. R. (5) a liamjet in
the township of Headingley, parish of
Leeds, wapentake of Skyrack, 3 miles
N. W. from Leeds. The ruins of Kirk-
stall Abbey are amongst the most cele-
brated in the kingdom, whether con-
sidered as a feature in landscape, or as
a specimen of architecture: this monas-
tery, seated in a fertile vale, on the banks
of a fine river, the Aire, always calm and
clear, except in floods, and surrounded
by pleasant hills and woods, does in-
finite justice to the taste of its foun-
der, Henry de Lacy, who, in the reign
of King Stephen, 1147, endowed this
abbey for monks of the Cistercian or-
der. "The church is in the form of
a cross, and had a lofty tower, the up-
per part of which appears to be of the
age of Henry VII.; in 1779 two of
its sides, with a part of the third, fell
down, which accident has added to the
picturesque effect of the ruins; a large
part of the cloisters, the dormitory,
the refectory, and the chapter-house,
still remain, and their walls are covered
with a profusion of ivy. “ This abbey,”
says Dr. Whitaker, “ as a subject of
monastic history, has been exhausted
by the labours of Dugdale; antiquaries
are familiarly acquainted with the cir-
cumstances of its early discipline, the
ruin of its revenues, and the assistance
by which they were restored; drafts-
men and landscape painters, good and
bad, have done their parts to delight
or glut the public taste with this en-
chanting ruin; and the acutest curiosity
might almost look in vain for a point
which has not been represented.”
