The Cistercian monastery of St Mary Stratford Langthorne once stood
on land south of the new Jubilee Line station at Stratford.
Excavations 1973-94 recorded large parts of the monastic church,
cemetery and related buildings. Topics include the precinct
arrangement, architecture and decoration, and the way of life of
the inhabitants. The expansion of the monastic church from a simple
cruciform building in the mid 12th century into an aisled
presbytery with ambulatory and eastern chapel in the 13th century
is notable. The excavated burials (647) are the largest sample from
a Cistercian site in Europe and provide evidence for burial
customs, patterns of cemetery use and the physical characteristics
of the population, including medical care.
