| Abstract | Recent research, both archival and archaeological, is bringing to light little-known abbeys or those previously considered lost. A collection of documents allows the unknown history of Begar Priory – the Yorkshire daughter-foundation of a Breton abbey – to be reconstructed; the architecture of Balmerino, a forgotten (but currently much-studied – see following session) royal 13th-c. abbey in Scotland is introduced; and the archaeological evidence for houses and halls that once sheltered guests in English, Welsh and Flemish Cistercian monasteries is presented. |
