Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive history of Roche Abbey, a medieval Cistercian religious house founded in the twelfth century, written by local architectural historian and author G.N. Vicker. The book takes as its focus the community who inhabited this once important religious institution, from its earliest recorded members to the last of the abbots, also covering the patronage of important local families, the extensive lands owned by the community, and the architectural history of the site. The text is illustrated with over 100 illustrations and plans, many of which are previously unpublished.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. The author's exhaustive research enables the reader to gain a true sense of the lives of those who occupied the peaceful valley, giving the reader a unique insight into the rises and falls of a religious community. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
