Buildwas Abbey (2003 Edition) by David M. Robinson
The ruins of Buildwas Abbey in Shropshire are among the most important Cistercian remains in England. This illustrated guidebook conducts the visitor on a tour, presenting the abbey as a living space in which everyday events continued in an atmosphere of pious observance. Although never a particularly wealthy house, Buildwas was the home of a remarkable library, from which over 40 books survive.
