Reviews
A triumph: a splendid, richly detailed account of the abbey, its importance, and its wider setting....Baxter's book is very timely in reminding us all of one of the forgotten glories of medieval England. CHURCH MONUMENTS Will undoubtedly serve as a new starting-point for work on Henry I's magnificent abbey. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW [Ron] Baxter is...uniquely qualified to do this work, and in doing so, he invests the detritus with a sense not only of scholarly importance but also of its former glory. LANDSCAPE HISTORY An important book of reference for anybody interested in the history and archaeology of medieval Abbeys in England, and how they permeated Royal life and activity.
