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.
