Collins Guide to the Ruined Abbeys of England, Wales and Scotland by Henry Thorold

This guide to monastic ruins in the British Isles looks at ruins that range from buildings like Fountains Abbey and Rievaulx to the fragments of obscurer priories. The book includes a history of the monastic orders in Britain as well as essays on their particular architectural styles.

Henry Thorold is the author of ‘Lincolnshire Churches Revisited’ and five of the ‘ Shell Guides’ to the English counties and ‘Collins Guide to Cathedrals, Abbeys and Priories’(1986). The latest, ‘The Shell Guide to Nottinghamshire’, won the 1985 Thomas cook Award for the best guidebook. A Trustee of the Historic Churches Preservation Trust and Chairman of the Lincolnshire Old Churches Trust, he lives in Marston Hall near Grantham, home of the Thorold family since the fourteenth century
