This blue commemorative plaque records: Jedburgh Abbey. King David 1 of Scotland founded this Abbey in the 12th Century. He brought a colony of Augustinian Canons from Beauvais, in France. At first it was a rich and important abbey but it suffered many attacks by invading English armies and was ravaged at least six times. After the Reformation of 1560 and until 1875, it housed the parish church. Recorded plaque organisation: Royal Burgh of Jedburgh.
