- Summary
- "Assesses the impact of a Cistercian monastery on the landscape and how, in its turn, the landscape influenced the monastery. It also tests some of the traditional views on the early ideals of the Cistercians such as their attitude to colonisation, land clearance, administration of their territory, and dealings with secular society. This study also goes beyond the monastic period and examines what effect the suppression of the monastery had on the landscape and community. ... This volume ... examines not only the abbey but [also] its territory using archaeology, architecture, documents, and map evidence in a holistic, 'landscape' manner. ... Using the earthwork survey plan of the abbey, features within the precinct are identified."--Preface, page i.
