First published twice in 1926, and again in 1934 with an updated
bibliography, Cranage's The Home of the Monk is a small but useful
introduction for the visitor to any English monastic site. Working
from surviving architectural and documentary evidence, he examines
the buildings section by section, explaining how each part of an
abbey was used. He briefly explains the history of the various
monastic orders which existed in medieval England, and their
differences from one another. He also provides plans of what
constituted the typical arrangements likely to be found in
Benedictine, Augustinian, Cluniac and Cistercian houses. The book
provides a useful starting point for further study of medieval
religious houses, and a handy guide for the occasional visitor to
such sites.
