Any reason UK isn't/hasn't tried reconstruction of it?

Why would we? You'd ruin it.

Re-ruin it.
Suppose they could tender the job on checkatrade.com

If we wanted to make a statement rebuilding something like this, or create some kind of public works program, places like Rievaulx or lindisfarne would get my vote.
I'd rather Whitbys stayed ruined as it is. Much more on theme I feel.

I wouldn't even go there. UK is gross.

That sounds like a win for the UK.

Yeah, I'd ruin it.

It would cost far too much to reconstruct all of the abbeys that have fallen into ruin.
It would destroy the cultural and religious significance that the ruined abbeys highlight.
They’re protected properties and councils/government would have a hard time agreeing on the projects to rebuild.
Most of the UK aren’t catholic so rebuilding abbeys would seem like a huge job for a minority group.

But it'd be pretty and potentially a bigger tourist attraction.

Heritage site, construction will be extortionate, popular as is for the area and we've got tones of others to care about.
