Well, if I'd been =really= ambitious (and even crazier), I would have cut down the tree and counted the rings...
Fountains Abbey and the adjoining Studley Royal Manor have changed hands nine or ten times since Henry VIII; though it seems that most of the construction using the abbey as a supply of stone occurred in the 1600s. Could the stairway date from then? I have no idea. Glad you like the shot! It was a great place to visit.
