The text is illustrated with over 100 illustrations and plans, many of which are previously unpublished. The author has made a detailed and meticulous study of the site and its history, which has enabled him to explore and discuss in great depth the dynamics at play in the life of a religious community during the medieval period. The history of Roche Abbey not only provides an insight into the details of the community itself but also presents a fascinating look at life in medieval Yorkshire and beyond.
