At the height of the middle ages, there were hundreds of abbeys and
priories throughout England. The ruins of some of those that were
destroyed at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries are
today seen as iconic medieval buildings - such as Fountains Abbey
in Yorkshire, designated a World Heritage site, or Tintern Abbey on
the river Wye, immortalized by Wordsworth. These monasteries -
particularly those of the Benedictine and Cistercian orders - were
not simply powerhouses of prayer, but major local landowners who
improved agriculture, replanned villages and founded new towns. For
this reason, Glyn Coppack's far-ranging study not only looks at the
churches and the immediate monastic buildings, but at the full
range of ancillary buildings.
