Roche Abbey in Maltby, South Yorkshire, was originally a Cistercian monastery founded in 1147. It served as a religious retreat and community for monks, following the Cistercian way of life, which emphasized simplicity and self-sufficiency. The abbey was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII in the 16th century, after which it fell into ruin and the site was repurposed for other uses. Today, the remains of Roche Abbey are a scheduled ancient monument and are recognized for their historical significance.

Yes, an original 1796 printing of "The Children of the Abbey" by Regina Maria Roche, especially with her dedication and signature, holds significant value to collectors and bibliophiles. The book is a notable work in Gothic literature, and the rarity of such early editions, combined with the author's personal inscription, can greatly enhance its worth. The value would ultimately depend on its condition, provenance, and market demand.
