Does anyone recognize these ruins - Wently? Abbey - English?

    This is a ink and Pencil sketch that I acquired recently. It was in a decrepit old frame and the mat was bleeding acid into the picture, so I removed it but kept the framers label from Montreal. The original title for the picture had been cut out and pasted above the label. It was very faded but I manipulated the contrast etc and got the results in the 2nd picture - looks like "Ruins of Wently Abbey".
    The image is approx 8" wide on heavy paper stock which is 9' wide x 7.5" high.

    Not sure it is Wently. There looks to be at least 7 letters to me..

    Are you sure it starts with a W? Looks more like an M to me, or possibly an H.

    Romanesque not Gothic should narrow it down.

    There are several different shots from different angles on Google images.
    Parts of it may have fallen down since this sketch.
