This week we\u2019re on the banks of the River Rye in North Yorkshire to discover how its precious water helped to sustain the monks who lived here for just over 400 years. This relationship between the monks and the river \u2013 and the ingenious ways they managed the water \u2013 is the focus of a new exhibition being hosted at the abbey.\n\nJoining us to explain more are English Heritage Collections Curator Susan Harrison, Ryevitalise Programme Manager for the North York Moors National Park Authority Alexandra Cripps, and Ryevitalise Graduate Niamh Byrne.\n\nTo discover more about Rievaulx Abbey or plan a visit, go to www.english-heritage.org.uk/rievaulxabbey\nLearn more about your ad choices.
