"Views of Sawley Abbey" is a series of engravings created by the English brothers Nathaniel Buck (1696–1774) and Samuel Buck (1696–1779), who were renowned for their detailed depictions of architectural ruins and landscapes in the 18th century. The Sawley Abbey engravings are part of the Bucks' larger body of work, which includes a significant collection of antiquarian prints known as "Buck's Antiquities."

Sawley Abbey, located in Lancashire, England, was a Cistercian abbey founded in the 12th century and dissolved in the 16th century during the reign of Henry VIII. The Bucks' engravings capture the picturesque ruins of the abbey as they stood in the 18th century, offering a valuable historical record of the site's condition before subsequent changes and restorations.

The "Views of Sawley Abbey" typically feature the remains of the church and claustral buildings, emphasizing the Gothic architectural details and the romantic decay that was popular among artists and the gentry of the time. These engravings are part of a larger trend in Georgian Britain that saw a growing interest in medieval history and the aesthetics of ruins, which were often associated with the sublime and the picturesque.

The Bucks traveled extensively throughout England and Wales, documenting the architectural heritage of the British Isles. Their work was published in sets of engravings, with accompanying text providing historical context and descriptions of the sites. The "Views of Sawley Abbey" would have been included in such a set, contributing to the visual record of Britain's monastic past and serving as a resource for those interested in the country's history and architecture.

As with much of the Bucks' oeuvre, the "Views of Sawley Abbey" engravings are considered important works of topographical and antiquarian interest. They not only reflect the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the 18th century but also serve as an important source for historians and conservationists in understanding the evolution of Britain's historic sites. The engravings are sought after by collectors and are held in various public and private collections, as well as in museums and libraries with special collections in British art and history.
