"We’re proposing to create a new building which will sit around the existing, overwhelmed tea-room and include a café, shop, toilets and admissions point, all under one roof. As well as improving the building for visitors and staff, the proposed design will reveal some of the original views which make up the significant design of this World Heritage Site."

Plans and an opportunity to offer feedback will also be available online from Tuesday at: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/fountainsabbey
