Fountains Abbey: Buildings
This learning-package will guide you through various buildings within the monastic precinct, beginning with the twelfth-century church and the buildings situated around the cloister, namely, the sacristy, the library, chapter-house, parlour, warming-house, novices’ house and day-room, monks’ dormitory, latrine block (reredorters), refectory and kitchen, as well as the lay-brothers’ quarters on the western range. You can then visit some of the buildings that stood outside the central core such as the abbot’s lodgings and the infirmary in the east, the abbey guesthouse, that lay to the west of the western range, the gate-house to the north-east, and the corn-mill, wool-house, bakery and brewery, which lay within the court. |
