PREFACE

The materials out of which this book is made were taken mainly from twosources: a description and explanation of the Abbey ruins by Mr. W. H.St. John Hope, and a collection and annotation of the Abbey records byMr. John Richard Walbran.

The ruins have been minutely examined by Mr. St. John Hope, who has leftno stone unconsidered. He has brought to his study of the Abbey aprofound knowledge of monastic architecture. The account of hisinvestigations is published in the fifteenth volume of the “YorkshireArchæological Journal,” to which is appended a historical ground-plan ofthe Abbey, drawn by Mr. Harold Brakspear. The Marquess of Ripon has hadcopies of this plan framed and placed in various parts of the buildingsfor the information of visitors. Through the courtesy of Mr. Hope andMr. Brakspear I am enabled to give a reduced version of this excellentplan.

The records have been gathered together by Mr. Walbran, and printed,with many learned and interesting notes, in two volumes of thepublications of the Surtees Society, entitled “Memorials of FountainsAbbey.{x}” They begin with a contemporary narrative of the foundation ofthe Abbey,
