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.
