ABSTRACT

This article has its origins in a paper on Cistercian cloisters presented by David Robinson at the 2004 Rewley House conference on the medieval cloister in England and Wales. Subsequently, it was felt that a JBAA volume dedicated to cloisters would be deficient were it to ignore the very significant work done by Stuart Harrison in enhancing our understanding of white monk cloisters, and that this was the perfect opportunity to bring together the complementary skills of both authors. The paper comes in two parts, an essay and gazetteer.
