Rievaulx Abbey: Community, Architecture and Memory (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies) Book

This 800-year history is both an architectural study of Rievaulx and a survey of the surrounding 92-acre walled precinct. Discussions range from shrines in the monastic choir to the baths allowed to the sick, from provision for the washing of the monk's clothes, to the quarries that provided the stone at different stages in Rievaulx's development. Tracing the history of the church and claustral buildings from foundation to the present, the text deals not just with the abbey but with broader social, economic and institutional issues of the lives of its past communities. A 32-page color section showing the abbey as it is today, set in the spectacular North Yorkshire countryside.Read More
