Description
Perhaps no comparable area of England was as intensively settled by the great monastic houses as the north-east of Yorkshire, which contained Whitby Abbey, Guisborough, Bridlington and Rievaulx. Including a set of maps, this work provides a comprehensive account of the monastic contribution to Yorkshire's development and landscape.
