VI.— The Abbot's House at Battle
Hospitality was an important feature of all religious orders and for this purpose there was generally provided accommodation for distinguished visitors, ordinary travellers, and poor people, in all the larger houses. The distinguished guest was the direct responsibility of the superior, and in all the greater Benedictine monasteries he was provided with an independent house for his own lodging and for the entertainment of such guests
Wigmore Abbey
I.— A West Country School of Masons
The object of this paper is to endeavour to show that there was in the West of England an important school of craftsmen responsible for a number of buildings of the first magnitude as well as for others of a smaller size. This supposed school flourished at that period when the round arch was logically giving way to the pointed one; so that to understand the importance of its position in this development a few words on the reason of the adoption o…

IX.— Excavations at some Wiltshire Monasteries
Wiltshire had at the Suppression fifteen religious houses, of which six were of over £200 a year value and escaped the first attack by King Henry VIII. One had licence to continue. With the exception of five they were all in the northern half of the county, and six were in the Avon valley between Bath and Malmesbury
Bardney Abbey
IX.— On the Dorter Range at Worcester Priory
From the earliest times every monastery had buildings for different purposes used regularly by the inmates. The chief of these in the course of time and with the experience of use came to be systematically placed with respect to one another, and the plan of a square court surrounded by the chief buildings of the convent quickly became general
Dudley Castle
X.— Malmesbury Abbey
The once rich and mitred abbey of Malmesbury has provided a subject for many writers, and the remains of its church a model for artists and draughtsmen, but no one seems to have combined description and drawing to explain the history of this building. The writer, having been engaged professionally for many years upon the repairs of the church, has had exceptional opportunities for the study of the structure, and although much of necessity has bee…

XXI.— The Cistercian Abbey of Stanley, Wiltshire
The site of the abbey of Stanley is a wide valley two and a half miles east of Chippenham, in Wiltshire. It is upon the south bank of a little river called the Marden, which rises on Calston Down some five miles to the east, and joins the Avon just above Oliippenham. Stanley owes its origin to one Drogo, a chamberlain of the Empress Maud, at whose instigation her son Henry, then Earl of Anjou, gave a place called Locwell (now Lockswell) in the ma…

VII.— Lacock Abbey, Wilts
The village of Lacock is about three miles south of Chippenham, near the river Avon, and formed part of the extensive possessions of the first Norman Earl of Salisbury, whose heiress, Ela, was married to William Longespee, natural son of Henry II., who in her right became possessed of all the titles and possessions of her wealthy house
