Actually they moved to Stocking in 1147. In the same year the abbot of
Savigny cut a deal with Bernard of Clairvaux, and the Savigniacs were
incorporated into the Cistercian order. The monks remained at Stocking
until 1177 when they moved to the present site, near Wass which is only a
hop skip and jump from Mon Cher Lib at Ampleforth.
