  • Laskill is a small hamlet in Bilsdale, 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Helmsley, North Yorkshire, England, on the road from Helmsley to Stokesley and is located within the North York Moors National Park. Archaeological investigations have revealed that the Cistercian monks of the nearby Rievaulx Abbey had a large woolhouse there, dating from the middle of the 13th century. The Cistercian monks, known to have been skilled metallurgists, also had a blast furnace (the only medieval example yet identified in Britain) for the smelting of iron ore into cast iron. The iron ore left in the slag at Laskill has been identified by Gerry McDonnell (archeometallurgist of the University of Bradford) as more refined than anything else at the time, suggesting a much more efficient blast furnace technology than otherwise existed – perhaps as advanced as a modern blast furnace. The destruction of the abbey at Rievaulx by King Henry VIII during the Reformation put an end to this blast furnace and its advanced technology. Had the monks been allowed to share their new blast furnace techniques, which they frequently did with other advancements, the world might have entered the Industrial Revolution a full two and a half centuries earlier.

  • Laskill è un piccolo borgo situato 8 kilometri a nord-ovest di Helmsley, nella regione del North Yorkshire, in Inghilterra, sulla strada da Helmsley a Stokesley. Ricerche archeologiche hanno rivelato che i monaci cistercensi della vicina abbazia di Rievaulx vi possedevano, a partire dalla metà del XIII secolo, un grande magazzino per la lana. Le rovine della vicina chiesa abbaziale di Rievaulx I monaci cistercensi, noti per essere stati provetti metallurgisti, possedevano anche un altoforno (l'unico antico finora identificato in Gran Bretagna) per la fusione di minerali ferrosi e la produzione di ghisa. (archeometallurgista dell'Università di Bradford) ha riscontrato che il minerale ferroso rimasto nella scoria di Laskill è il più raffinato rispetto a qualunque altro dell'epoca, suggerendo che esistesse una tecnologia dell'altoforno molto più efficiente di altrove - forse quasi avanzata quanto quella di un moderno altoforno.La distruzione dell'abbazia di Rievaulx da parte del Re Enrico VIII durante la Riforma pose fine all'altoforno e a questa tecnologia evoluta.Se ai monaci fosse stato permesso condividere le loro tecniche fusorie, cosa che fecero con altri sviluppi tecnologici, il mondo avrebbe conosciuto la Rivoluzione industriale almeno due secoli e mezzo prima.
