English Heritage Book of Fountains Abbey by Glyn Coppack
The ruins of Fountains Abbey are among the best known and most visited monastic remains in Europe - the ruins and the park they stand in receive in excess of 300,000 visitors a year. This book summarizes recent research which has led to a substantial re-interpretation of the abbey's development. By a comprehensive study of its site, using the techniques of historian, architect and archaeologist, it is possible to recreate the story of this fascinating and beautiful building.
